Benton Charter Township - St. Joseph River Crossing Sewer Project

Benton Charter Township will be constructing new force main along Riverview Drive south of Gray St and crossing under the St Joseph River from Riverview Drive to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The river crossing will be a trenchless installation via horizontal directional drilling. The Riverview Drive installation will include open excavation in the street requiring a traffic detour and new pavement construction upon completion of sewer system work.
