Farm Lane: Road and Utility Reconstruction

Intersection of Shaw Lane and Farm Lane

Overview of scope:

  • Install a secondary steam service pipeline from Wilson Road to North Campus, above the 100-year flood plain.
  • Provide steam, water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer services to the new Plant and Environmental Sciences Building.
  • Reconstruct roadway, intersection, and signals, including completion of the bike lane from Mt. Hope to Grand River for improved safety.
  • Install an electrical duct from the TB Simon Power Plant to North Campus to support future electric demand and provide resiliency.
  • Replace aged cast iron water main with ductile iron for increased reliability and capacity.
  • Replace deteriorating sanitary and storm sewer mains.
  • Complete a communication duct from Shaw Lane to Wilson Road to support campus current needs and growth.

Designs are currently being developed for a phased project for critical utility replacements that minimize campus operation impacts and disruption to any adjacent capital projects, including detour plans for campus communications.
