Shore Drive Phase 3 to start in May 2025 – Learn about this 3 year Improvement project

Posted on by

The Shore Drive Phase 3 Improvement Project(SDP3), first identified as a City Capital Improvement Project (CIP) in 2007, is finally getting ready to happen. This 3 year long construction project will improve the section of Shore Drive between the Lesner Bridge and North Great Neck Road, making the road safer for pedestrians and vehicles. Construction will take place over the next 3 years and will definitely have an impact on our Bayfront area in the process.

In an effort to help provide as much information to the residents as possible, we have been working with the City and Councilman Cummings to gather as many details as possible to help answer questions regarding this project. Thanks to the City’s Public Works and Councilman Cummings, we are able to provide the following detailed drawings for construction, traffic management and storm water plans. Please see below for a link to our project page for the SDP3 project.

https://weloveshoredrive.com/phase3/

The detailed project drawing documents should be able to help answer some of the following questions we have heard from the residents.

  • What is planned for the Storm Water control at the Page Harbor Landing area?
  • What is planned for the entrances at the boat ramp parking area near Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls?
  • What is planned for the BoBo’s Fine Chicken and Lynnhaven Colony Park parking areas?
  • What is planned for the Lynnhaven Beach Condominium entrance/ Westminster Canterbury acceleration lane area?
  • What impact to Live Oak trees is planned along the entrance area to Westminster Canterbury?
  • What are the impacts to entrances for Shorebreak, Bay Local, Cape Henry Exxon and CP Shuckers?
  • What are the Shore Drive median impacts to areas in Cape Story by the Sea near Beech Street?

Additional information regarding this CIP can be found at the City’s website link https://vbgov.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/11ca2d264a6c45aeaf6e6b4723297341

The City’s CIP data sheet can be seen below

We understand that this data is a lot to digest and we plan to help by posting drawing analysis reviews and City provided updates as best possible. Similar to the Lesner Bridge 3 year project, we can make it through the pain to get to the well deserved benefits and information will be a critical factor.

On Thursday May 1st, there will also be an opportunity to learn more about the upcoming construction project at the District 8 Councilman Cummings Community Meeting. More information on this meeting can be found below.
