May 23, 2023 - Beginning Monday, June 5, 2023 through September 2023, Lampson Avenue, from Springdale Street to Lamplighter Street, will undergo a sewer improvement project causing temporary traffic delays. To facilitate construction work, eastbound Lampson Avenue will be closed, reducing traffic to one lane in both directions. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes to avoid congestion. Access to residences and schools around the construction area will be maintained at all times.

Eastbound Lampson traffic will be detoured south at Springdale Street to Stanford Avenue east; or north on Springdale Street to Chapman Avenue east, to Knott Avenue south. Normal work hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; however, the lane closure will be maintained 24/7.

One of many projects designed to minimize sewer capacity issues, the Lampson Avenue Sewer Improvement Project includes rehabilitating the Lamplighter Street sewer, from Killarney Avenue to Lenore Avenue, and the Lenore Avenue sewer, from Lamplighter Street to Springdale Street. The project consists of constructing approximately 1,440 feet of new piping and installation of seven new manholes. The project is funded by the Sewer Fund.
