24th Street Culvert
The project will replace the existing small pipe with a multi-barrel box culvert and improve conveyance at Old Virginia Beach Road and Parks Avenue.
Current Status
The Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was received in November 2023 with associated storm models and is currently under review by the Stormwater Engineering Center.
Purpose of the Project
This project is part of the Central Resort District Flood Protection Program Master Project. It includes the study, design, property acquisition, and construction of storm drainage system improvements at 24th Street and the culverts at Old Virginia Beach Boulevard and Parks Avenue near the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). This project is associated with CIP 100062, Central Resort District Drainage Improvements, and CIP 100275, 21st St and Baltic Avenue Drainage Improvements.
All three projects will be evaluated together to study the hydraulics between Beach Garden Park, the 16th Street Pump Station, and the culverts along Little Neck Creek drainage ditch between I-264 and Laskin Road.
