Public Works Project Spotlight
Washington Drive Drainage

Project Overview:

Roadside drainage improvements will be provided from 300’ east of E Street to 300’ west of Unicorn Trail. The work along this portion of Washington Drive will be performed within the existing 50’ right-of-way. The following improvements will be made to the area:

• The ditches adjacent to the pavement will be filled, providing a four foot to ;five foot roadside shoulder.
• New ditches will be graded from the new shoulder to the right-of-way line.
• The north side will drain to several cross pipes connecting to the drainage trunk line along the south side.
• Disturbed concrete and asphalt entrances will be replaced with concrete entrances.
• Most of the trees and shrubs within the right-of-way will be removed.
• The proposed 36” outfall pipe will follow the Dominion Virginia Power right-of-way and spill into Herring Ditch, 700’ west of Washington Drive.

The project was awarded to Rountree Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $634,862 on May 22, 2009. Construction near Herring Ditch began in October 2009.
