Project Description
Existing sewer mains have reliably served this area of Mesa for over 50 years. However, with continuous growth additional sewer capacity is needed. To address this, Mesa has contracted with B&F Contracting to install a new 15-inch diameter sewer. Accomplishing this task will require updating and/or relocating sections of existing utilities like water and gas lines and some storm drains.project area map
To reduce roadway closures/restrictions, the sewer line installation and utility relocations will be done in various phases; at times, work will continue through the night or on weekends where possible. Due to the recent water main break in 2024 and having an overlapping work area, the reconstruction of the Gilbert and McKellips intersection has also been incorporated into this project after the utility work completes.

Project Phasing
Gilbert/McKellips Area - Work crews are actively installing new the sewer line and associated manholes on McKellips Rd between Harris and Gilbert. The alignment of sewer line is located in the center of the road. To reduce impacts, work crews will cross through the intersection after the holidays. Working thought the intersection will be done over a single weekend working 24hrs with multiple crews. Right turns will still be accessible in all directions to maintain access as much as possible.
Gilbert and McKellips intersection work is scheduled for the weekend of January 9th – 11th.
Watch for electronic message boards posted to further notify the date/duration of the weekend restriction.
Utility Relocations - Stapley/McKellips Area
To make room for the new sewer line, utility conflicts need to be removed and relocated. This work is typically done as the work area progresses. However, an unforeseen conflict was discovered just east of the McKellips/Stapley intersection. This conflict is being addressed by the utility owner and project team.
