One of the key elements of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District’s (NEORSD) Project Clean Lake is the $153 million, 14,000-foot-long (2.8 mi.) Dugway Storage Tunnel, which is being constructed by the Salini Impregilo/Lane Construction JV (Salini Impregilo S.p.A. and The Lane Construction Corporation). Construction on the design-bidbuild DST, a 24-ft. diameter tunnel located in Cleveland’s east side (the Glenville neighborhood) began in 2015 and should be completed by December 2019. The contract was awarded to the JV in November 2014. The DST stretches from the Easterly Tunnel Dewatering Pump Station (ETDPS) to its upstream terminus at Superior Avenue, and it will share the terminus with the Euclid Creek Tunnel (ECT) and connect to the ETDPS. Once operational, the structure is expected to capture approximately 370 million gallons of combined

sewage annually, preventing pollution from entering Dugway Brook and eventually Lake Erie. The DST will store and convey combined sewer overflow (CSO) from ancillary collection and relief sewers, and rather than replace the existing pipes, it will handle any additional flow created by a storm or heavy rains. The DST will be able to store up to 58 million gallons of water and sewage and hold it until the rains subside and the Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant has the capacity to treat the liquids. “Flows captured in DST will be pumped to the Easterly plant via the ETDPS, a huge underground pump station designed to pump up to 160MD from the Euclid Creek Tunnel, DST, Doan Valley Storage Tunnel and Shoreline Storage Tunnel, which is still under design,” said Jennifer Elting, the NEORSD’s senior public information specialist. “DST is a singlepass tunnel, and we used the same tunnel boring machine that was used for the ECT.” see TUNNEL page 28

Kalin Construction Company Inc. (KCC) crews started work on the Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) $20 million reconstruction of a section of U.S.-131 last May, which is being rebuilt from William R. Monroe Boulevard to north of Hoffman Road. The two-year project, which should be completed by Fall 2020, also includes reconstructing the U.S.-131/M-60 interchange south of Broadway Street and improving the U.S.-131 bridge deck over

the Rocky River. The reconstruction covers 2.3 mi. of highway (six lanes wide, two throughlanes and a left turn lane in each direction) in Three Rivers (St. Joseph County) along a heavily-traveled commercial corridor of the city, which is located in southwestern Michigan near the Indiana border. This section of highway was built in 1953, and average annual daily traffic is between 12,000 and 20,000 vehicles. Safety concerns for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists are a key element of the project. see KALIN page 26

“The meat of the job is next year and we’re doing about 20 percent of the project this year,” Project Manager Matt Kalin said. “We’ll have more equipment onsite in 2020.”
