NEWPORT NEWS – Motorists are advised that HRSD will begin work to abandon old sewer piping that is no longer in service along Jefferson Avenue. This work will require a closure of the outer lane on northbound Jefferson Avenue beginning just before Oyster Point Road and extending to the I-64E entrance ramp as indicated on the map below. The lane closure will begin as early as March 16 and will remain in place through April. Business entrances within the lane closure will remain accessible.

This work is weather dependent and subject to change or require additional time. Please visit the Newsroom on HRSD.com for updates and schedule changes.

HRSD’s promise is to treat wastewater and recover natural resources to protect public health and the environment. A political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, HRSD was created by public referendum in 1940 and currently serves 20 cities and counties in southeast Virginia, an area with a population of 1.9 million.
