South SectionSouth Section<div class="ExternalClassD5A36F7FC0C8419986006F7A5BA932BF"><p></p><p>The South Section of the Gilbert Road Sewer Project extends from the Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant to Steveston Highway. Construction began in early 2023 and will continue for approximately two years. <br></p><p>This two-kilometre-long section is using open-cut construction methods, which involves digging a trench to install pipe. Work is progressing along Gilbert Road in segments. Crews started at the Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant and are moving​ northward towards Steveston Highway. The length of each segment and the duration of its construction varies depending on technical factors. Crews may need to stay in some locations for longer periods to complete specific tasks such as maintenance hole upgrades and ditch crossings ​<br></p><p><a href="/services/liquid-waste/ConstructionDocuments/factsheet-gilbert_road_sewer-south_section.pdf" target="_blank">​Fact Sheet - Gilbert Road Sewer ​- South Se​ction​</a><br></p></div>Gilbert Road, from the Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant to Steveston Highway, City of RichmondProject
