Ongoing sewer work in Portland will close down Marginal Way north of Franklin St. for the next four weeks.

The closure will begin on Wednesday. It’s part of the Back Cove Sewer Separation Project. The area will be a moving work zone as a contractor installs a main that will be used to empty new storage tanks that are being put in under the Preble Street soccer field.

Motorists will be encouraged to use Fox Street as a detour and seek out alternate routes during the four-week period.

The sewer project is intended to prevent combined sewer overflows into Back Cove.
