Road Closure on Quemazon Place between Tranquilo and Sereno Continues
A water line break occurred Wednesday, April 24 on Quemazon Place. Utility crews removed large sections of roadway to make the required repairs. Another water main ruptured on Quemazon Pl. between Sereno and Corona, sending water to the first location, destroying the prep work done by Streets to lay asphalt.
The work zone, which runs along Quemazon Place between Tranquilo and Sereno, is closed to through traffic for the duration of the repair and cleanup. Work will continue through May 17. A pedestrian detour will be in place. The sidewalk on the south side of Quemazon Pl. between Tranquilo and Corona will remain closed through the week. Traffic will be detoured through Tranquilo to Brisa Del bosque to Corona.
