Yale Campus/Trumbull Street Area Sewer Separation Projects

- Phase 1A: Trumbull Street Area

Construction for the Sewer Separation Project in the vicinity of Trumbull Street will continue into 2013. Once completed, the project will have separated approximately 140 acres of storm water from the sanitary sewer system. This will improve roadway drainage, reduce rainwater flows to the sewage treatment plant and increase the available capacity in the sanitary sewer system to reduce potential for backups.

TRUMBULL STREET AREA

TRUMBULL STREET TO CONTINUE ONE-WAY INBOUND & DETOURS -
ORANGE STREET TO WHITNEY AVENUE

• Trumbull Street between Orange Street and Whitney Avenue will continue as a ONE-WAY INBOUND (WESTBOUND) Traffic Pattern through summer 2012. Vehicle Access to Trumbull Street, address number 37 through 67, will be from Orange Street only. Parking is permitted in the direction of traffic flow. Follow the signing.

• Major construction activities continue underground as 36" sewer pipe is being installed by the pipe jacking method between Orange Street and Lincoln Street. This construction method minimizes impacts on the trees and traffic along Trumbull Street. Construction of temporary sewer piping will resume between Lincoln Street and Whitney Avenue.

• Construction of a Receiving Pit continues West of Temple Street. Construction of a Jacking Pit continues West of Hillhouse Avenue. Once the Jacking Pit near Hillhouse Avenue is completed, jacking operations will begin at this second location.

• Traffic patterns may shift through the day, so pay attention to the patterns and law enforcement officials.
