The project, which begins on Saturday, June 15^th, will be completed in two phases by WASD in-house crews.

Phase 1 is on LeJeune Road between South Dixie Highway and Menendez Avenue. The work will be completed on Sunday, June 16^th and one northbound lane on LeJeune will remain open during this time.

Phase 2, beginning on Monday, June 17^th, will require LeJeune Road to be completely closed as the pipe is replaced between Menendez and Castania Avenues. Due to an expedited work schedule, the job is expected to be completed within four weeks.
