Ocean City, New Jersey E-News Updates - <h3>Bay Avenue Project Update 2020

The Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (CMCMUA) is replacing/rehabilitating the force mains that carry wastewater to the treatment plant on the bay at 45th Street. The work will be on 31st Street from Haven Avenue to Bay Avenue; and Bay Avenue from 31st Street to Eighth Street.

By Oct. 2, the contractor will have completed excavating and securing the tie-in pit at the southern terminus of the project on 31st Street. Consequently, 31st Street will be closed between Simpson and Haven avenues for at least the next week.

Starting on Monday, Oct. 5, the contractor will begin excavating a pit at the intersection of 31st Street and Bay Avenue for the purpose of slip-lining a new 16" HDPE pipe through the existing 20" DIP pipe to the tie-in pit. Once the tie-ins are completed, the tie-in pit will be backfilled and temporary paved. The slip-lining pit at 31st St and Bay is expected to stay open for two weeks to enable the slip-lining process going north on Bay Avenue. While this pit is open, 31st Street will be closed at Bay Avenue and local detours will be required.

Also next week, Video Pipe Services (VPS) will continue with the cleaning of the existing 20" pipe on Bay Avenue from 15th Street to 8th Street. Traffic control around the VPS trucks will be handled with lane shifts.
