South Norfolk Pump Stations & Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project
--Project Update--
Bainbridge Boulevard Sewer Pipeline Update
Sewer pipe installation is currently occurring on Bainbridge Boulevard between the intersections of Wilbur Avenue and Wright Avenue and moving south toward Swain Avenue.
During pipeline construction, Bainbridge Boulevard will be closed in the northbound lane around the construction areas between Wilbur Avenue and Wright Avenue. Residents on Wilbur, Orville and Wright Avenues can access their homes via local traffic routes depicted in blue on the map to the right, with entry points at Byrd Avenue and Hughes Avenue.
The overall project pipeline construction is expected to be completed by summer 2027.
Ferebee Avenue Pump Station Update
Following the installation of reinforcing steel rebar, concrete was poured into forms in early February to construct the top slab of the new Ferebee Pump Station. Other recent work has included backfilling around the station and the installation of electrical conduits.
During material deliveries, soil/debris removal, or concrete pours at the station site, southbound 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.
Park Avenue Pump Station Update
Construction continues at the pump station to prepare for start-up including the installation of further infrastructure. Construction is ongoing through spring 2026.
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.
