Spire Pipeline Replacement Project
Spire will start work on the Shades Creek pipeline replacement project on September 22, 2020. SEC will start on the east end of the project near Overhill Road and work back towards the west. The dual mains will cross under Watkins Branch to the northeast of Cahaba Road. This section of main installation should take around 4 – 5 weeks to complete. Crews will begin work after 8:30 am and end no later than 4:30 pm. The main should be installed outside of the road way along this area. However, one lane of traffic may need to be shut down due to equipment along the road way.
The Cross Creek Drive Project has been postponed and will start early 2021. Prior to the work beginning, literature with the information about the upgrade project will be distributed to residents living in the immediate work area.
A second phase of this project is expected to start on October 19, at the intersection of Kennesaw Drive and Fair Oaks Drive and continue along Gaines Mill Road, Pine Mountain Road, Fredericksburg Drive, Corinth Drive, Chickamauga Road and Gaines Mill Circle. While this project requires crews to dig in the streets, and in some cases yards, Spire is focused on ensuring they perform work safely and efficiently. By working between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and practicing control measures to ensure traffic flows as smoothly as possible, they plan to avoid contributing to rush-hour delays. The city encourages motorists to drive with caution through these work areas.
On Monday, October 12, Spire will begin working at Crestwood Drive and Euclid Avenue. Other streets included in this project are Crestview Circle, Crestview Drive, Delmar Terrace, Greenbriar Lane and Sheridan Drive. Work will be between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays with control measures in place for traffic flow. The city encourages motorists to drive with caution through these work areas.
