Red Hill Avenue is a red hot mess, as you probably have noticed.
Several things are going on at once. First, the Orange County Sanitation District is installing a mile of new, larger sewer line between Warner and Valencia avenues. During construction hours, from about 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., northbound Red Hill is down to one lane.
In the same area, simultaneously, construction workers are laying a jet fuel pipeline that runs from the Long Beach refineries to John Wayne Airport.
And when that work concludes, another large-scale project begins: The widening of Red Hill.
