The Orange Western Trunk Sewer Project will be conducting construction work in the City of Anaheim and Cypress. The work being performed consists of manhole rehabilitation, replacement and pipe replacement. This project is essential to enhance the condition of the regional sewer system.

City of Anaheim

Manhole rehabilitation and pipeline relocation work will be performed that will require concrete barriers to delineate the work along the median and travel lanes. During this time, the median lanes will be restricted and there will be one travel lane in each direction open for thru traffic. Please follow all posted traffic signs and plan your commute accordingly. Alternate routes are suggested.

To complete the work in this area, there will be three phases of work performed. They will happen continuously and are expected to be complete by May 2023. Work progress will be updated on this project webpage.
