Brian Cadenhead, a temporary worker with the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board, tightens up a 22-degree angle on a section of water pipe on 10th Street Tuesday.

Crews with the water company and Knife River Materials are installing a new 18-inch water main along North 10th Street in Coos Bay alongside Mingus Park. The street will remain closed while the work is done on the stretch of roadway between Central Avenue and Eighth Terrace. The project is scheduled through July 17. Neighbors on Eighth Terrace complained to the Coos Bay City Council Tuesday about traffic that has been diverted onto their street due to the construction. They asked that the city post a reduced speed limit or

have detours route traffic elsewhere, perhaps down Koosbay Boulevard.
