Drivers in Grants Pass should prepare for a temporary road closure beginning Tuesday morning as a critical sewer infrastructure project gets underway. The City of Grants Pass has announced that “A” Street, between Dean Drive and Baker Drive, will be closed to through traffic starting at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, and will remain closed until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. The closure is necessary to facilitate the installation of a new sewer manhole, part of an ongoing effort to upgrade and maintain the city’s underground utilities.
During this two-day period, access along this stretch of A Street will be restricted to local traffic only. Detour routes will be clearly marked, and city officials are encouraging motorists to plan ahead, avoid the area entirely if possible, and utilize alternate routes to minimize delays.
City officials emphasize that the closure is essential to ensure the safety of construction crews and the integrity of the work being performed. The installation of a sewer manhole is a complex process that requires excavation, heavy equipment, and uninterrupted access to underground utility lines. For that reason, even emergency vehicles will not be permitted to travel through the affected section of A Street during the closure.
Residents and businesses within the closure zone will retain limited access, but they may experience minor delays or temporary inconvenience due to construction activity. The city urges residents to be patient and understanding as crews work quickly and safely to complete the project within the scheduled timeframe.
The work is being managed by Robco, a local contractor specializing in underground utility services. For any questions or additional information regarding the project or the road closure, residents can contact Robco directly at (541) 476-2132.
The City of Grants Pass thanks the public in advance for their cooperation and encourages everyone to drive with caution near the construction zone. Updates regarding the project will be posted on the city’s official website and social media channels if necessary.
This road improvement project is part of a broader initiative by the city to modernize aging infrastructure and ensure reliable sewer service to residents in the years ahead.
