North Grand Avenue in Springfield is closed between 7th and 9th streets for about five weeks beginning today to move a large water main for the Springfield Rail Improvement Project.
The 4.8-million-dollar project is part of the city’s match for the rail relocation and is the largest part of the city’s 10.2-million-dollar water infrastructure upgrades.
Three more phases of work for the North Grand Avenue underpass are planned to be completed by this fall.
