Halesite Drainage Work in Full Swing

The $18 million state drainage and roadway project for Route 110 in Halesite is in full swing, with a targeted completion date of the summer of 2013.

Two roundabouts are being constructed at Creek Road and Mill Dam Road.  A drainage treatment/filtration basin is being constructed between those two roads.

The work, stretching from Prime Avenue to Mill Dam Road, has meant the closing of lanes of traffic and tougher access to many shops.

On occasion, pedestrians weave in and out of lines of cars. But the state Department of Transportation said the drainage work should mean the end of the flooding of the road after relatively minor amounts of rain, the cause of many complaints over the years.
