Clifton Street - Hersey Street Road Closure The Hersey Street Sewer Separation project started on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. This is one of the City’s latest sewer separation projects to prevent combined sewer overflows into Back Cove. The work to reduce overflows is part of the City’s agreement with the U.S. EPA to reduce and eliminate the flow of combined waste being discharged. A combined sewer system transports wastewater from home, industries, and businesses, as well as storm water collected from streets, parking lots, roofs, and yards to the East End Wastewater Treatment Plant. A combined sewer overflow occurs when the combined sewer capacity is overwhelmed during heavy rain events and a mix of sewer and storm water is discharged into Back Cove.The Hersey Street work will continue all year until November 15, 2025. These construction activities are required to implement the Hersey Street Sewer Separation Project. For more project details and updates, please visit the project website

The goal is to test improvements aimed at making the roads safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers before committing to permanent infrastructure changes. Improvements on Washington Avenue in Portland, from Veranda Street to Ocean Avenue, are scheduled for later in July. Read the full story.
