Crews will be working on sewer rehabilitation on Golf Road between Lincoln Avenue and McCormick Boulevard starting April 29, and are expected to complete the project by May 17, according to a press release.

Manhole installation is expected to start the week of April 29 while the liner installation is expected to start the week of May 6. Normal traffic pattern is expected to be resumed by May 24. 

Residents should not be alarmed if they smell styrene while contractors are working in the area, the resins used in the lining process contain a chemical called styrene that hardens when heated. While not a pleasant odor, it is not dangerous at the levels at which people can detect it, according to the press release.
