Emsworth residents along Ohio River Boulevard may soon get some relief from nighttime sewer line construction.

The borough was forced to work on the new gravity-fed line during the night because of traffic restrictions on adjacent areas of Route 65 that caused the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to nix daytime work.

Council member David Heflin reported at Wednesday's regular council meeting that construction is close to moving onto Huntingdon Avenue which
allows the work to shift to daylight hours. Sidewalk replacement along the Boulevard also will be done during the day, he said.

The new line will be connected to the borough's new pump station with all the work done and the station running by the end of July. Council approved an expenditure of $47,131.20 for the contractor, Mongiovi & Son, and another of $7,443.10 for related engineer
