Union City Launches Major Upgrade on Hunter Road Stormwater System to Combat Flooding

Union City residents will soon see construction crews along Hunter Road as a major upgrade to the local stormwater infrastructure gets underway. Officially known as the Hunter Road Stormwater Infrastructure Improvement Project, work kicked off on Monday, aimed at enhancing both functionality and safety on a 0.3-mile stretch from Roosevelt Highway to the neighboring intersection. According to a

press release from Union City

, the project’s blueprint includes the installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and improved drainage systems.

For those who regularly traverse this corridor, the east side will soon feature curb and gutter systems to not only better manage the water flow when storms hit but also to clearly delineate the roadway’s edge. The project will include a new five-foot concrete sidewalk with a small grass strip, connecting pedestrians to existing walkways for a smoother path. Along with these improvements, the city will upgrade drainage by installing new catch basins and pipes to address ongoing flooding issues.

With crews now actively on-site, those driving near the construction zone should be prepared for modified traffic patterns. Union City officials have assured that traffic control measures are firmly in place to simultaneously ensure public safety and maintain a smooth flow of vehicles. Disruptions should be minimal, but for those seeking further details or having specific concerns, the Union City Public Services Department is reachable at (770) 306-6855, ready to field inquiries, according to the

same press release.

There’s no set completion date, progress will be visible as work continues.
