ASHEVILLE - Blasting resumed Nov. 10 near French Broad River Park where the Metropolitan Sewerage District is installing a new pipeline crossing underneath the river.

Intermittent blasting is anticipated over the next couple of weeks in the area, on the Lyman Street side, MSD Director of Engineering Hunter Carson said via email.

In-water work began in August. It is an element of the $105 million Carrier Bridge Pump Station project, which will replace MSD’s largest pump station, built in 1966. It serves large portions of south and west Buncombe County, and North Henderson County, and sits adjacent to the park.
