As part of a long-term effort to reduce basement backups and sewer overflows, MSD Project Clear is constructing a project to replace approximately 1,025 feet of undersized wastewater sewers in the city of Ladue.
MSD Project Clear is investing approximately $550,000 to improve wastewater sewers in the City of Ladue. The goals are to reduce basement backups and sewer overflows, which occur when the sewers become overloaded during intense rainfall.
This project will be constructed by digging through the surface of the ground in a process known as “open-cut” construction. The pictures above depict what a neighborhood will look like before, during and after a typical open-cut project.
With any type of construction, residents can expect to see and hear heavy equipment during the sewer excavation process.
Traffic and Access: As much of the construction will take place in the street, residents should expect temporary lane closures on Conway Road. MSD Project Clear will maintain at least one lane of traffic at all times to allow residents to enter and exit.
Similarly, construction may lead to temporarily limited access to some properties along the construction route. Restrictions will be limited to active construction hours, and the contractor will notify property owners in advance of any access restrictions.
Restoration: After all new sewer pipes are installed, the contractor will restore the construction site according to all MSD and local requirements. This could include sodding any disturbed areas, replacing disturbed pavement, reinstalling fences, etc.
At least one MSD Inspector will be on-site part of the day for every day the contractor is working.
This is the current tentative project schedule. This is subject to change based on a variety of factors, including weather.
