W. Little Creek Road Resurfacing Project Beginning September 5th, 2023

August 28, 2023

Upcoming road construction and potential traffic impact

NORFOLK, VA – W. Little Creek Road from Granby Street to Hampton Boulevard is scheduled for resurfacing. This project will resurface the road with a new layer of asphalt, promoting a smooth and safe driving experience.

The scope of work includes:

  • Surface milling from curb to curb.
  • Install final layer of asphalt.
  • Replace pavement markings.

Work will begin on September 5, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by the end of the month. The resurfacing work will be performed at night during the week between the hours of 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Off-duty police and flaggers may assist with traffic. Motorists should expect alternating lane closures, intermittent traffic stoppages and are encouraged to take alternate routes to avoid construction. Vehicles will be towed at owner’s expense if not moved before 7 p.m. on the day work begins. Flyers will be placed on vehicles parked on the street 24 hours in advance. Access to residences will be maintained and trash and recycling services will continue as normal.

Project updates will be announced on message boards, media alerts, norfolk.gov, Nextdoor and project update emails.

Titustown History

September 15, 2022

Attached below in PDF format is a pamphlet titled “Titustown A Community of Negro Homes”. It was written by William Anthony Aery and printed in 1915 by “The Press of The Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute” in Hampton, Virginia. The article was likely written earlier than 1915 as it is a reprint from “The Southern Workman”. This pamphlet is currently housed in the Lincoln Collection of the Kansas City Library.

An excerpt from the pamphlet: “Midway between the sandy beach at Ocean View, on the Southern side of Hampton Roads, and Norfolk, a rapidly growing Southern metropolis, there has been developed, in the heart of a rich, farm-trucking region, an attractive Negro community, called Titustown, in which all the people own their own homes and not a single renter is found.”

Some of the homes and buildings pictured in the pamphlet are still standing in Titustown today!
