South Norfolk Pump Stations & Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project
--Project Update--
Park Avenue and Perry Street Sewer Pipeline Work Update
Following the installation of a manhole at the intersection of Park Avenue and Perry Street, contractors are excavating, installing dewatering pumps, and replacing sewer pipeline on Perry Street, moving southward from the intersection. They are also working to install laterals to residences on Perry Street.
Due to this construction, Perry Street will be closed to through traffic with no street parking. This work is expected to be completed by the end of September 2026.
During the work period, these conditions will be in place:
- Access for residents on Perry Street shall be maintained at all times. Occasionally, driveway access may be impacted, but we will work with residents to address any concerns. Residences can be accessed from both Park Avenue and by the yellow access route depicted in the map to the right.
- Mail and package service delivery to residents will not be impacted, and contractors will work with delivery services to ensure that mail and packages reach your home.
- Trash service will continue to be picked up in the locations where you typically place your trash.
Ferebee Avenue Pump Station Update
Construction continues at the Ferebee Pump Station site at 2812 Bainbridge Boulevard with the installation of roof sheathing and shingles, wet well grating, and insulation. Additionally, placement of the station’s influent line is complete, and coatings and grout have been applied in the wet well to prevent water infiltration.
During material deliveries, soil/debris removal, or concrete pours at the pump station site, southbou
nd traffic on Bainbridge Boulevard may be reduced to one lane for the safety of our contractor crews and customers.
Final pump station construction is expected to be completed by late 2027.
Bainbridge Boulevard Sewer Pipeline Work Update
Bainbridge Boulevard’s intersection with Chesapeake Drive remains open to local/thru traffic due to adjustments in the work schedule. Notice will be provided when work in this area resumes.
The overall project pipeline construction is expected to be completed by summer 2027.
While our project team works diligently to minimize impacts, you may notice increased traffic and noise such as drilling, engines, backup alarms, diesel generators and motors, along with the people and heavy equipment associated with construction. Please proceed with caution when traveling around the construction area and for your safety, do not enter the work zone.
- Vibration monitors are in place to ensure that vibration levels are kept below the allowed threshold.
- Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted.
- Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change
