Pipe installation under Little Hunting Creek is not yet complete. A second attempt at HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) in June 2025 failed, and further crossing attempts are paused while we look for a solution.
Open cut installation is about 75% complete and will continue along Wessynton Way through the summer.
Here are the latest updates:
- Wessynton Forest Trail: The trail has reopened with temporary restoration. The 36” HDPE pipe is safely stored along the north side of the trail. Cleanup and restoration will follow.
- Wessynton Swim & Tennis Club: The pool reopened in June 2025. No construction work is planned in this area this summer.
- Surrey Ct., Surrey Dr., & Mt. Vernon Hwy: Open cut installation is finished. Connection to the sewer system and restoration of Surrey Ct’s green area will happen later this year. Materials and equipment will remain on the Mt Vernon Hwy frontage road.
- Wessynton Way: Open cut installation will continue, the road will stay open with occasional lane closures.
- Little Hunting Creek Pump Station: Equipment has been removed from Stockton Pkwy but may return in the Fall.
The project is expected to be completed by 2026.
Please keep a safe distance, follow warning signs, and avoid construction areas. Thank you for your patience as we complete this project.
