Anderson Avenue Project Update

City of Manhattan News Posted on May 07, 2026 | Last Updated on May 07, 2026

(May 7, 2026) The Anderson Avenue project is on schedule and progressing according to plan. This is a two-year project expected to be completed in summer/fall of 2027. 

Much of the work is underground for waterline (and some storm sewer).  The utility crews are smaller and the Contractor has two crews working at all times.  Due to the size of the project, they are in different areas and you may not see them at times when they are working on a side street.  The noticeable concrete paving crews are not present at all times.  

The next portion of paving for Phase 1b, the two westbound lanes from Connecticut to Timberlane, will be starting soon and the public will notice more personnel and equipment.  When the total project is finished, there will be a new 24" diameter cross-town water transmission main in place; 8" water main and select storm sewer improvements to replace infrastructure that is 60 to almost 100 years old; plus new roadway and sidewalk.
