Site work for a water / sewer project in Roanoke, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

In this project, a diversion pipe or L-Tunnel is proposed that will tie into the existing Warehouse Row diagonal tunnel in Salem Avenue (54x96 reinforced concrete box culvert), diverting runoff along Salem Avenue and 1st Street to its intersection with Campbell Avenue in 187 LF of 60 RCP and 214 LF of 48x76 elliptical concrete pipe, where pipe cover or utility conflict avoidance become necessary along part of the projects length. Junction boxes are planned at the upstream and downstream ends of the new L-Tunnel for improved access, and lateral pipes and inlets along its length will be improved to better capture localized runoff in the topographically depressed area along Salem Avenue, just west of 1st Street SW. The new L-shaped tunnel will follow Salem Avenue and 1st Street, to tie into the Campbell Tunnel at approximately the same location as the diagonal tunnel. This project is in included in the City of Roanoke FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of July 08, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
