Three major intersections in Valencia are set to be closed later this month for up to 36 hours for sewer repairs, officials said Friday.

Starting Tuesday, Jan. 7, the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County is scheduled to begin work to repair the sewer line below Magic Mountain Parkway between McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard, according to City of Santa Clarita officials.

The work is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday with continuous traffic control in place until the completion of the repairs.

“The project is estimated to take between 30 and 36 hours to finish, with repairs being completed by approximately 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 8,” according to City officials.

This is an emergency project that is set to address needed repairs before potential issues can develop.

Crews need access to manholes located in the intersections of the affected roads and are set to work within the pipes to complete repairs, according to officials.

To access the sewer line and make the needed repairs, crews are expected to need to set up traffic controls and closures on Magic Mountain Parkway, McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard.

The closures include the left eastbound lane on Magic Mountain Parkway which is scheduled to be closed from Citrus Street to Valencia Boulevard, and the right southbound lane on Valencia Boulevard planned to be closed from Creekside Road to Magic Mountain Parkway.

Full left lane closures are scheduled for Magic Mountain Parkway at McBean Parkway. At the McBean/Magic Mountain intersection, the only left turn available would be for those drivers making a left from southbound McBean Parkway to eastbound Magic Mountain Parkway.

The left northbound through lane on McBean Parkway from Town Centre Drive to Magic Mountain Parkway are also set to be closed.

Santa Clarita commuters are asked to be aware of scheduled lane closures and to plan their routes accordingly.

Electronic message boards can be expected in each direction to inform motorists of upcoming lane closures, officials said.

Residents are reminded to reduce their speed through the construction zone.

All measures are set to be taken to complete the project in a safe and timely manner., according to City officials.
