HAMPTON – Motorists are advised that HRSD crews will continue to perform sanitary sewer pipeline improvements at E. Mellen Street and N. Willard Avenue that require a closure between E. Howard Street and E. Mercury Boulevard. During this work traffic will follow a signed detour using E. Howard Street, N. Curry Street, and E. Mercury Boulevard as indicated on the map below. Motorists can use E. Mercury Boulevard to gain access to Fort Monroe. Local traffic will continue to have access to homes and businesses within the closed section of E. Mellen Street.

The detour is currently in effect and is expected to remain in place until the end of September.

This work is part of the Willard Avenue Pump Station and Sewer Replacement project and is weather dependent and subject to change or require additional time. Please visit the Newsroom on HRSD.com for updates and schedule changes.
