Drainage Improvements Work Begins on Cape Henry Drive between Starfish Road & Ebb Tide Road
Starting next week.
From News Release:
Drainage Improvements Work Begins on Cape Henry Drive between Starfish Road & Ebb Tide Road
Virginia Beach Public Works is providing an update for a new Eastern Shore Drive Drainage Improvements Project Advance Section 1C.2.
The contractor will commence construction for this 2nd phased drainage project for the Lynnhaven Colony area the week of August 1-5, 2022. The work will be solely located on Cape Henry Drive between Starfish Road to Ebb Tide Road. The project will relocate a large gravity sanitary sewer which exists beneath the Cape Henry Canal, southward to underneath Cape Henry Drive. This work is necessary to widen and deepen the Cape Henry Canal beginning the summer of next year.
It’s important to note that this work will not interfere with traffic at W. Great Neck Road. Cape Henry Drive will be closed for through traffic in two phases of construction between the side streets noted above, with a detour plan for each phase.
The Contractor will continue to provide access to resident’s driveways, mail, trash pickup and emergency services. The Cape Henry Trail will not be shut down and will continue to provide service during construction. The trail and Cape Henry Drive construction will be separated with a 4’ high visibility fence.
The anticipated schedule is:
August 1, 2022 – July 14, 2023.
The contractor for the job is Trident Civil.
For additional information, please contact Christina Tumminelli, Project Manager
with Trident Civil at (757) 393-5904, or Public Works Engineering at (757) 385-4131.
“A public comment session will be held at 2 p.m. Aug. 9. Then, the council members will vote on the new Bayside representative.”

Council Adopts FY2022-23 Budget
FY2022-23 budget has no increases to the solid waste fee, water service charges, sewer charges, stormwater charges, and avoids a real estate tax rate increase.
With the exception of a few fee increases for permits within the department of Planning and Community Development, the FY2022-23 budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) are supported through natural growth in citywide revenues. Below are some of the key elements in the upcoming budget.
Ocean Park sand replenishment starts about May 30
“Due to the recent set of storms and the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend the Ocean Park sand nourishment project is scheduled to begin after the holiday, approximately May 30th.“
FINAL Reminder Eastern Shore Drive Drainage Improvements – Public Information Meeting May 11th – 6-8pm – Bayside Recreation Center
“Definitely happening in May extending into June”
About Ocean Park beach being “truly restored” like Chix Beach was:
“This is a substantial volume of sand.”
Watch discussion by Jim White & Dan Adams with Prez of OPCL.
About “truly restored” vs “placement sites” for beach nourishment:
“Then we’re going to turn our sights on Cape Henry Beaches.”
About the pile of sand at Lynnhaven Boat Ramp:
“We plan on doing a truck haul, & place that material between Page Avenue & the gazebo at Duck Inn.”
About volume of sand:
“Truly restored” Ocean Park beach is getting ~ 400,000 cubic yards, LBR holds ~ 60,000 cubic yards, when Lynnhaven Inlet is dredged – happening soon – that yields ~ 100,000 cubic yards.
