North Hudson Sewerage Authority Weehawken Infrastructure Project Two Week Look Ahead For 2/26 - 3/8/2024
NHSA WEEHAWKEN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT SUMMARY:
The project's main objective is to tackle flooding problems in Weehawken by replacing and modifying sections of combined sewer infrastructure. It involves upgrading portions the sewer system on Boulevard East, Highwood Avenue, Hudson Place, and Hamilton Avenue with new piping, manholes, catch basins, and a new underground pump station. The upgraded infrastructure will take more rainwater off the streets, and convey it to the treatment plant. The successful completion of the project will reduce flooding and enhance the infrastructure's resilience against more frequent and intense storms.
There will be two crews working, one on Hamilton Ave and one at the pump station location on Highwood Ave. The maps on page 2-4 indicate the work areas and parking limitations.

Upcoming schedule:
Work on Hamilton Ave is expected to continue for 8 - 10 weeks as rock has been encountered and reduces the amount of pipe that can be installed on a daily basis.
Pump station construction is will last for 2-3 months followed by electrical work, testing, and start up.
Completed work:
Work has been completed on Blvd East from 700 Blvd East to Hamilton Ave. A new 48” PVC combined sewer was installed along with manholes and new laterals and cleanouts. The majority of work on Highwood Ave is complete, with new stormwater piping separating sewer and stormwater from Blvd East to Hudson Place. A stormwater force main was installed on Highwood Ave, that will be connected to the pump station in 2024. Hudson Place also had new stormwater and sewer piping along with new catch basins and manholes.
The first half of the pump station structure has been delivered and set at the pump station location.
