Hull Street Rehabilitation Project
Construction Area:
-
Hull Street between Cowardin Avenue and Belt Boulevard
Weather permitting, work will begin March 16 and completed in approximately three to four months. Reconstruction is divided into six coordinated phases/sections with each section building upon the previous phase until the project is complete.
Timeline:
-
Work begins March 16, 2026, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by June 15, 2026
During reconstruction, each section will be fully closed to traffic to protect the safety of our construction crews and drivers. The phased approach allows crews to work efficiently while minimizing prolonged disruption to the entire corridor. It also allows each section to re-open after work is completed.
Advance notice will be provided before each closure and clearly marked detour routes will be provided to direct motorists around the work zones.
What to Expect:
-
Reconstruction will occur in six consecutive phases/sections, starting with Phase I
-
Work along each section will take two or three weeks
-
Since it is a reconstruction, each active section will require complete closures.
-
Once the work is completed the section will reopen and crews will move to the next section
-
Complete closures are needed to protect workers, pedestrians and motorists
-
During the closures, access to businesses will be through side streets
-
Detour routes and updates will be posted in advance and clearly posted
Message boards will be in place to notify the public on the following streets:
-
Cowardin Avenue
-
Belt Boulevard
-
Turner Road
The project will:
-
Reconstruct long-standing elevation inconsistencies
-
Mill existing street to lower elevation, level and then reconstruct Hull Street sections
-
Reconfigure Hull Street from Clopton Street to the new James River Branch Trail based upon a 2020 roadway safety assessment to reduce speeding and enhance safety for people using the street
-
Provide safer crossings for people of all ages and abilities
-
Provide on-street parking
-
Reconfigure the street to provide dedicated left-turn lanes from Clopton Street to the James River Branch Trail
-
Adjust curb cuts and ADA ramps to match street grades, sidewalks, driveway entrances, and utility constraints
-
Improve drainage and reduce maintenance costs
-
Resurface the street and improve the markings
-
Improve corridor appearance and support local economic development
