Lane Closure Scheduled on Virginia Beach Boulevard for Sewer Pipeline Replacement Work

Body

VIRGINIA BEACH – Motorists are advised that HRSD crews will be performing ‘around the clock’ underground utility work this week, starting tonight, December 11 at 9 p.m., and continuing through 5 a.m. Monday, December 16. During this time, traffic will be reduced to two lanes westbound on Virginia Beach Boulevard between North Lynnhaven Road and Kings Grant Road. This continuous work schedule is needed to safely install a line stop and plug valve on the existing pipe in preparation for the installation of new pipe.

Nightly lane closures will resume between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. beginning Monday December 16 and continuing through February 1, 2020 in order to complete pipe installation in this area.

The work is weather dependent and subject to change or require additional time and is part of the Virginia Beach Boulevard Pipeline Replacement Project. Motorists should exercise caution while driving through the area and may experience delays.

HRSD’s mission is to protect public health and the waters of Hampton Roads by treating wastewater effectively. A political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, HRSD was created by public referendum in 1940 and currently serves 18 cities and counties in southeast Virginia, an area with a population of 1.7 million.
