Construction Update - Holt Street

The work on Holt Street is winding down and preparations are being made to reopen the street. Holt Street is between Park Avenue and Tidewater Drive and is heavily used by residents, Ruffner Academy students, and downtown commuters who park at Harbor Park.

Construction contractors are in the final stages of preparing the roadway and concrete sidewalk along Holt Street. On March 31, 2008, the street will reopen and remain open throughout the summer months.  In the fall, Holt Street will close once more to complete the last phases of construction. The last piece of construction work will include building the first 9 spans of the light rail bridge.

As we move closer to opening day for the Norfolk Tides on April 3rd, Holt Street will provide easy access to Harbor Park from Tidewater Drive during the 2008 baseball season.

What’s next? The next phase of construction will continue the bridge work between Park Avenue and the east end of the light rail route.
