Traverse City water line replacement to close lanes downtown

TRAVERSE CITY — The city’s 2025 Water Service Line Replacement Project continues this week with work on several downtown streets, according to city officials.

Team Elmer’s, in coordination with the City of Traverse City Water and Wastewater Maintenance Division, began replacing private galvanized water lines connected to lead service earlier this year. The project, which started in May, is expected to be completed this fall.

During the week of Oct. 13, crews will be working on the 600 and 1200 blocks of Union Street, the 1000 and 1200 blocks of Cass Street, and the 100, 200, and 300 blocks of Fourteenth Street. The work will cause lane closures under flag control, lane shifts, and sidewalk closures.

Officials said the project will generate dust and noise and may cause temporary disruptions to vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. Signs will be posted throughout the area, and access to homes and businesses will be maintained.

Residents are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid congestion and promote worker safety.

Questions about the project can be directed to the Water and Wastewater Maintenance Division at 231-922-4923, ext. 2. More information is available here.
