Site work for a water / sewer project in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of June 6, 2024, The project is included in the 2024 Budget. This project is in the design phase. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 and be completed in 2030. The purpose of this project is to improve the aquatic habitat of Honey Creek Reach 1 and improve safety by slowing down the flow velocities during extreme rain events. The concrete channel liner within the project reach was installed in 1967, and is approaching the end of its useful life. The project scope includes replacing approximately 5,500 linear feet of the Districtowned concrete lined channel from W. Wisconsin Avenue upstream to I-94 with a more naturalized channel. It also includes 4,800 feet of channel from Wisconsin Avenue downstream to the Menomonee River which contains 1,250 feet of County-owned concrete lined channel between Currie Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue. This is a USACE Partnership project with the Feasibility Phase located in Project W24006. The increase in total project cost is due to an updated design and construction cost estimate completed by USACE. Any impacts on the operating budget are expected to begin in 2023, and would be ongoing site maintenance costs. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
