Hi all,
Starting off the August thread with an update on South Four Mile Run Trail, between S Glebe Road and with Water Pollution Control Plant.
From my inbox:
“As part of the South Four Mile Run Sanitary Sewer Relining project, Arlington County will reline a 50 year-old 48/54-inch sanitary sewer line on South Glebe Road from West Glebe Road to the Water Pollution Control Plant (530 31st Street South) on South Fern Street. A CCTV inspection conducted in the fall of 2015 revealed that the sanitary sewer pipe had moderate-to-severe deterioration, including: corrosion, small holes, infiltration of roots and reinforcing steel exposed with rusting. The purpose of this project is to extend the life of the pipe using a trenchless rehabilitation method, known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). Arlington County will use county contractor AM-Liners East Inc. to perform this work.Location: East bound side of S Glebe Rd from W Glebe Rd to the Water Pollution Control Plant (530 31st St S) on S Fern St
Duration: Summer 2018 to winter 2018/19The CIPP process requires a temporary bypass to be installed prior to the installation of the liner to ensure no disruptions in service. Large pumps and pipes associated with the bypass will be installed near the trail at S Four Mile Run Dr and S Cleveland St and will run continuously to the Water Pollution Control Plant located at 530 31st St S. Traffic may be impacted on S Glebe Rd and on the S Four Mile Run bike trail at times when the contractor is installing the temporary bypass system. Due to the length of the project (5,900 linear feet), there will be some sections where the bypass is above ground.
The process used to cure the pipe requires crews to work around the clock. The pumps and boilers will run constantly during the curing phase. Each pipe segment normally takes between 24-36 hours to cure.
Additionally, a 60-inch section of pipe on S Arlington Ridge Rd and S Joyce St will be removed and replaced. The right east bound lane on S Glebe Rd will be closed during the excavation and replacement of the pipe. A new traffic pattern will be in place with warning signs. This work is estimated to take approximately 45 days to complete and the start date will be determined upon the installation of the bypass. Work hours will be Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Residents should expect inconveniences such as parking restrictions, traffic detours, street closures, dust and noise. We will make every effort to minimize any inconveniences and we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Ah that makes sense. I figured a giant pipe on the trail was expected. I’ll send a note!
I got a a note back. They’re leaving the pipe, but putting up warning signs.

Welp, shoot. That seems less than ideal, but they did get back to you more quickly than me!
