Morrissey Blvd Storm Drain Replacement

The existing storm drain pipe between catch basin Q9-CA404 and manhole Q9-CA403 has broken and caused a sinkhole to form at the corner of Morrissey Boulevard and Marnell Avenue.

The Morrissey Boulevard Storm Drain Replacement project will include the installation of a new section of 12-inch diamater stormdrain pipe, removing and replacing the existing catch basin with a Type B catch basin, and restoring the pavement damaged by the sinkhole.

Engineer's Estimate: $45,000.00
