South Norfolk Pump Stations & Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project
--Project Update--
Rodgers Street Sewer Pipeline Update
Our contractors continued to lay pipeline and install manhole
s down Rodgers Street this month. This pipeline work is expected to reach Holly Avenue by the end of August.
During excavation and the installation of pipeline, Rodgers Street will be restricted with no through driving allowed between Park Avenue and Byrd Avenue to ensure safety around the construction area. However, although barriers will be in place, residents will be able to access their homes via the side street of Holly Avenue and various alleys. The pipeline work on Rodgers Street is expected to be completed by early 2025.
While the contractors work on Rodgers Street, you may hear noises such as engines, backup alarms, diesel generators and motors. Vibration monitors will be located onsite and near the construction area to ensure limited disruption to you in your residence. Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted. Dust control measures such as paving, frequent road cleaning and/or application of water will be enacted to reduce dust from becoming airborne. After construction, roadways and rights-of-way will be restored to their pre-construction structure and materials.
Park Avenue Pump Station Update
Our contractors continued masonry work during August, with blocks being placed to build the outer walls of the station. They also began digging operations for water lines and installed bypasses at the station site, along with starting the assembling of pumps, valves, and pipes. They also began to install forms for the pouring of the concrete generator building slab.
Continuing construction work will occur directly on the pump station property itself, Monday – Friday between the hours of 7 AM – 6 PM. As a reminder, construction of this pump station is ongoing until summer 2025.
Park Avenue Pipeline Work Update
This month, our contractors continued restoration work on Park Avenue, focusing on installing curbs and gutters and performing restoration at the intersection of Park Avenue and Decatur
Street. Additionally, they worked to grade Park Avenue between Hull Street and Stewart Street, reshaping the road to restore an even, level surface and ensure proper drainage.
Park Avenue will continue to be restricted with no through driving allowed between Hull Street and Jackson Avenue to ensure safety around the construction area. Work on Park Avenue between Bainbridge Boulevard and Hull Street has been extended, and the road is currently restricted until late 2024 at the earliest.
However, although barriers will be in place, residents will be able to access their homes and alleys via Stewart Street, Decatur Street, and Rodgers Street between Jefferson Street and Holly Avenue. The pipeline work on Park Avenue is expected to be completed by late 2024.
Ferebee Pump Station Update
The replacement structure for Ferebee Pump Station is in its final design stages and is expected to begin construction during late 2024.
While our project team works diligently to minimize impacts, you may notice increased noise and traffic, along with the people and heavy equipment (with back-up safety alarms) associated with construction. Please take care when traveling around the construction area and for your safety, do not enter the site. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change.
