City schedules multiple construction projects

SLC Construction, a private contractor hired by the City of Laredo, will temporarily cause traffic inconvenience along several areas in order to replace existing water lines. Water services will not be interrupted at this time. The contractor will provide a 24-hour notification (through a flier) to each customer or property to be affected.

The affected areas are:

• Bustamante Street from Foster Avenue to Bartlett Avenue

• Naranjo Avenue from Calton Road to Leal Street

• Sandman Street from Bartlett Avenue to Daugherty Street

• Bartlett Avenue from Sandman Street to Bustamante Street

• Calton Road from Cherry Hill Drive to Thomas Avenue

• Olive Street from Barcelona Circle to Springfield Avenue

• Salinas Avenue from Garden Street to Farias Street

Construction is scheduled from June 21 through Aug. 10, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The replacement of the water line is anticipated to take approximately nine weeks for completion. Progress updates will be made available by the Utilities Department.

Motorists and pedestrians traveling through the area are cautioned to heed all posted traffic control signs and devices to provide safety to all citizens.
