Just a reminder to everyone that The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power will begin the Charing Cross and Hilgard Regulator Station Bypass Line Project Monday June 15, 2015. The project will take place at the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Hilgard Ave.

LADOT Traffic Officers will be on Sunset Blvd. to manage the traffic flow and to make sure the traffic signals are timed accordingly. Message boards will be placed this week in areas surrounding the project location and also on the 405 freeway to advise drivers. Work hours will be Monday -Friday 7:00am-6:00pm, with some work days until 9:00pm and Saturdays 8:00am-4:00pm. Work days are extended until 9:00pm during the week, so that the project can be completed before the anticipated finish date.

LADWP’s Installation Of Bypass Water Line At Charing Cross/Hilgard Is Likely To Slow Traffic

Posted by Traffic | Posted in Traffic | Posted on 01-06-2015

Updated Charing Cross and Hilgard Bypass Line

Changes to drinking water quality regulations require open air reservoirs to be covered, bypassed, or removed from service. To comply with these regulations, the LADWP will be installing a floating cover on Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir, which is located in the Beverly Glen area and currently services the adjacent communities and the UCLA campus. LADWP will temporarily remove Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir from service in order to install the cover. Before this can be done, the LADWP must install a new water pipeline to provide continued water deliver to the surrounding communities while the reservoir is temporarily removed from service.

Project Description

LADWP will install approximately 385 feet of 36-inch diameter water pipeline at Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue. The large diameter pipeline, known as the Charing Cross and Hilgard Bypass Line, will connect to existing infrastructure at the intersections of Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue and along Hilgard Avenue south of Charing Cross Road. The new pipeline will ensure continued water deliver to the surrounding communities while the reservoir is out of service, and will also provide improved redundancy in the system necessary for future maintenance and in case of emergency.

Construction will require traffic modifications along Sunset Boulevard and Hilgard Avenue from mid-June 2015 to January 2016. LADWP has coordinated this work with UCLA and Metro in order to complete the construction along Sunset Boulevard before fall classes at UCLA resume in an effort to reduce the traffic impacts to the area. Refer to the dates and maps under Construction Details below for additional traffic information.
