Per Toho Water Authority, a portion of Crescent Lakes Way, off of south Poinciana Boulevard behind Reedy Creek Elementary School has been closed, as Toho Water begins a sewer rehabilitation project at the intersection with Willow Bend Trail.
The project was prompted by soil settling in the right-of-way, causing a manhole and a small section of the sidewalk to sag several feet. Toho has retained a contractor to assess the situation and make the repairs.
The assessment and repairs are expected to take three to six months, depending upon availability of materials and unforeseen circumstances.
The road closure, which will remain in effect for the duration of the project, extends from Willow Bend Trail to Crepe Myrtle Circle. Residents of Willow Bend Trail and Crepe Myrtle Circle will be able to make left turns only onto Crescent Lakes Way. Access to both roads will be maintained. As an additional safety precaution, Toho constructed a temporary sidewalk on the east side of Crescent Lakes Way to provide a safe means for pedestrians to get around the work area.
Residents near the work area may have experienced odors from the wastewater beneath the area. Temporary housing units have been placed above the manhole openings to reduce instances of odor.
