Wards Corner Now – Wards Corner, Norfolk, Virginia

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.
