Traffic Impacts on State Street for Sewer Pipe Improvement Project

– End of July to beginning of September 2026 –

On behalf of the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission, Baltazar Contractors, Inc., will be performing sewer pipe repairs on State Street, from Main Street to Dwight Street. 

Construction is scheduled to start on Monday, July 27, 2026, and continue for approximately six weeks. Typical construction hours are 7:00AM to 4:00PM.   

During the project, State Street, between Main Street and Dwight Street, will be reduced to one lane in each direction. Traffic will be managed with posted signs, barriers, and police details. This traffic pattern will be in place for the duration of the project. 

The repairs are being completed as part of prioritized upgrades to the sewer system. The sewer pipes in this area date back to 1883 and are part of a critical section of the sewer system. The repairs will help ensure resiliency and reliability of the sewer infrastructure in the downtown area. 

The Springfield Water and Commission appreciates the patience of residents, businesses, pedestrians, and drivers while this important work is performed. Please contact the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission at 413-310- 3501 with any questions regarding this project. More information is also available at https://waterandsewer.org/projects/
