Excavation begins for stormwater detention basin project in Flagstaff, Ariz.
(UI) — Excavation has officially started for the Wedge Detention Basin Project in Flagstaff, Ariz., according to the City of Flagstaff and contractor Eagle Mountain Construction. The initial phase of excavation will take place within the construction yard, which will decrease in size as work progresses.
This marks the beginning of the detention basin’s construction, with the main construction scheduled for the spring, when temperatures are more favorable.
The Wedge Detention Basin is designed to manage excess stormwater runoff, preventing it from overwhelming the box culvert being installed along Linda Vista Drive. The basin will collect stormwater and gradually release it back into the city's stormwater management system when safe.
The Wedge Detention Basin is part of the ongoing Spruce Wash suite of projects, funded by Proposition 441. These include the recently completed Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project and the ongoing Linda Vista Drive Crossing Project, Cedar Avenue to Linda Vista Drive Channel Project, and Wedge Detention Basin Project.
