Hamilton Street between Seventh and Eighth streets in the City of Allentown is expected to reopen by 4:30 this afternoon. That stretch has been closed since Saturday, March 22 to complete a very deep tie-in and manhole installation to the existing sanitary sewer located on the south side of Hamilton Street proper. Work has included road surface removal, trench and manhole excavations up 17 feet deep, hand excavation around the existing utilities, pipe and manhole installation, backfill and road surface repair.
