Working the Weld on West First Street

Ricky Wolff and Ignacio Espinoza with Crestline Construction work on setting up a weld for a new sewer line on West First Street, The Dalles this morning, Sept. 24. The upgrade has caused the closure of the road, which is just west of the Union Street underpass, during the construction phase.

The City of The Dalles is replacing about 1,000 feet of sewer line just west of Union Street. The new pipe follows First Street near Oregon Cherry Growers and moves north. The project, known as the “Westside Interceptor”, is replacing concrete pipe that is buried just two feet under the surface. The City’s Michael Bosse is the project manager.
