Lewiston Sewer Project Shifts to Phase 2 After February 27

The city's pipeline replacement work on Snake River Avenue will continue with new traffic impacts.

Published on Feb. 24, 2026

The first phase of the City of Lewiston's 2026 Pipeline Replacement Project on Snake River Avenue is scheduled to wrap up on Friday, February 27, with the second phase expected to begin immediately afterward. The project involves rehabilitation of a portion of the sanitary sewer main along Snake River Avenue between the Southway Roundabout and 11th Avenue.

Why it matters

This infrastructure project is necessary to maintain the city's aging sewer system, but the construction work has caused traffic disruptions that impact local businesses and residents. Careful planning and communication from the city is important to minimize the impact on the community.

The details

During Phase 1, which began on February 16, traffic has been limited to southbound travel only between 11th Avenue and Southway Avenue, with the northbound lane closed through the work zone. Phase 2 will begin immediately following the completion of Phase 1, and additional traffic impacts are expected as work continues along the corridor.

  • Phase 1 is scheduled for completion by February 27, 2026.
  • Phase 2 will begin immediately following the completion of Phase 1.
