Less than a year after the groundbreaking on a $5.1 million storm drainage improvements project, the state-funded work to address flooding in a Norwalk neighborhood is almost halfway to the finish line, city officials say. “We’re about close to 50% done,” said Vanessa Valadares, Norwalk’s chief of operations and public works, on the project to improve the Heather Lane and Lockwood Lane area. “We started this project last year in September, and we’re going to be finishing by December.” The project, which started on Lockwood Lane and will end on Katy Lane, involves installing 55 catch basins and 32 manholes, replacing pipes and disconnecting the neighborhood’s combined stormwater sewer system. The city received $5.1 million in state funding in October 2023 to address the flooding issues, and it broke ground for the project last July. Of $5.1 million, a total of $3.7 million is for construction work while the remaining funds were for design, inspection and contingency costs, according to Valadares.
