MT. VERNON – Work is expected to begin Monday on a sewer main replacement project along Richview Road, starting at North 18th Street and Oakland Avenue and progressing westward, according to the City of Mt. Vernon.

This section of sewer main was originally planned to be relined; however, after further inspection, it was determined that full replacement is necessary to ensure the system continues operating properly.

Drivers should expect lane closures, flaggers, and possible delays in the area. Please use caution when traveling through the work zone, and consider using an alternate route if possible.

The project’s duration will depend on weather and field conditions, and updates will be shared as work progresses.
