As part of the Virginia Water Main Improvement Project, a new water main must be constructed across E. Cass Street between Henderson Avenue and N. Garnsey Avenue. This work will take place overnight and a full road closure on E. Cass Street will be in place from 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, until 7:00 a.m. on Friday, October 23. The following detour will be posted: Henderson Avenue to Jackson Street to N. Youngs Avenue.
The water main replacement work with pavement restoration for this section of E. Cass Street is anticipated to be completed by November 25, 2026. The existing lane closure/traffic pattern will remain in place until project completion. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes for the duration of the work. We appreciate your patience and ask that you drive slowly and cautiously through any construction zone.
