Description: The direct-buried steam and condensate lines in this area were installed in 1958. The lines have been repaired several times and continue to require attention, including the repair of leaks in the lines, valves and fittings. In addition, this segment of Chestnut Road and Demonstration Hall Road are deteriorating and are not configured to current MSU standards, including bike lanes.
This project is located southwest of the IM West Building, along Chestnut Road, in the athletic and recreation district. This project involves the replacement of the existing direct-buried steam and condensate return lines with new lines in a steam crawl tunnel, along with the reconstruction of Chestnut Road. Some on-street parking will be removed from Chestnut Road and bike lanes will be implemented. Demonstration Hall Road will have bike route signage. This project also includes sewer separation, storm water management improvements and water main improvements to the
region.
Timeline: This project is scheduled to begin construction in May 2012, with substantial completion in December 2013.
