Orange County Sanitation District work crews will be working near the Shops at Rossmoor center (which is actually in Seal Beach) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday, July 19-20.
The City of Seal Beach has issued a permit to the Orange County Sanitation District which allows their contractor to perform exploratory excavation along northbound Seal Beach Boulevard between the intersections of Rossmoor Center Way and Bradbury Road. This work is required to facilitate their design efforts for a major regional sewer replacement project.
This construction work is schedule to start this Thursday, July 19, and be completed by Friday July 20. The hours of construction will be restricted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Northbound traffic lanes will be narrowed to one-lane of through traffic within this reach of Seal Beach Blvd. The southbound lanes are unaffected. This work is anticipated to cause significant traffic slowing and delays in the area of the Shops at Rossmoor.
The last time they did this it turned Seal Beach blvd into a parking lot. No signage or heads up was given. This work can be done at night since its not using loud equipment. All permits for shutting down lanes should go via special committee to the SB City council. It’s unfortunate commerce and transportation must come to a grinding halt so two county engineers can examine a 60 year old sewer system for a project that’s two+ years away. Very shameful and needless.
