South Norfolk Pump Stations & Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project

Body

PROJECT UPDATES – AUGUST 2022

 

Notice of Night Work:

As part of a City of Chesapeake water pipeline project, Bridgeman Civil needs to complete nighttime work to re-asphalt the intersection of Bainbridge Boulevard and Park Avenue on Thursday, August 11. This brief period of nighttime work is necessary so that the contractor can continue its work on the HRSD sanitary sewer replacement project.

  • This work will occur during the evening hours after 7 PM on Thursday, August 11.
  • During that time, the intersection of Bainbridge Boulevard and Park Avenue will be blocked to traffic. Vehicles entering or exiting Park Avenue, Porter Street, or Perry Street will need to detour north on Perry Street to Jefferson Street.
  • You may notice trucks entering and leaving (backup beeping and other equipment noises may occur) and temporary lighting may be used to assist the crews during the night.
  • Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted.

Extended Work Hours:

To complete open-pit sewer work prior to the start of Rena B. Wright Elementary School’s 2022/2023 school year, Bridgeman Civil, the contractor for HRSD, will be extending work hours on Park Avenue to seven days per week (Sunday – Saturday), between the hours of 7 AM – Sunset (approximately 9 PM). This work schedule will be in place August 9 - September 6, 2022.

 

Notice of 24-Hour Work:

Two periods of non-stop, 24-hour drilling will occur this month. 24-hour work, including nighttime drilling, will occur on the following days in the following locations:

  • This August 16 – August 18: Park Avenue between Rena B. Wright Elementary School and Bainbridge Boulevard
  • August 22 – August 24: Park Avenue between Bainbridge Boulevard and Hull Street

This 24-hour work is necessary because once the drilling effort begins, the contractor is unable to stop until the bore is complete. Additionally, the extended hours will allow for the contractor to complete all open-pit sewer work in front of Rena B. Wright Elementary School prior to the start of the school year on September 6.

During this operation, you may hear noises such as drilling, engines, backup alarms, diesel generators and motors. Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted.

Road reconstruction work will take place during the new daytime hours (7 AM – Sunset) in the days following these 24-hour drilling periods.
