7/16/13 - A sewer repair project in Brighton is causing some traffic issues. A small section of the sewer pipe on South Third Street near the intersection of Third and Washington collapsed Sunday afternoon, prompting a repair effort that involved significant excavation. Officials say because of recent rain, the task of shoring of the 17-foot trench needed for the repair took longer than anticipated, only finally being accomplished later in the day Monday. Crews are now making the actual repair to the broken line today, resulting in a traffic detour on South Third Street utilizing Washington, Second and Franklin streets. Brightonâs DPS have maintained a temporary above-ground bypass sewer line in order to maintain proper sewage flow while the repair is ongoing. (JK)
