NORWOOD PARK — The next phase of a $7.6 million project to replace the sewer under Talcott Avenue will force the intersection with Oriole Avenue to close Monday in all four directions for two months, Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st) said.

The project will replace 12-inch sewer mains with significantly larger pipes in an effort to prevent nearby homes from flooding, officials said.

The closure is expected to snarl traffic near Resurrection Medical Center and Resurrection College Prep High School, where students have finished the school year but summer programs will be offered, officials said.

Eastbound traffic will be detoured north on Canfield Avenue, east on Devon Avenue and south on Harlem Avenue, officials said.

Westbound traffic will be detoured south on Harlem Avenue, west on Bryn Mawr Avenue and north on Canfield Avenue, officials said.
