Public Works and Environmental Services Alert:
Project BackgroundThis project was identified when management from an adjacent property expressed concerns to the county about a steep and unstable streambank from erosive stream conditions. In November 2019, staff from the Stormwater Planning Division initiated the design of the project.
Downstream and south of the Little River Turnpike Service Road, Turkeycock Creek is continuing to erode the eastern streambank adjacent to the Brookside Office Park Complex. This project will address the unvegetated, nearly vertical bank with the installation of a soldier pile and lagging retaining wall to prevent further erosion. The project also includes approximately 300 linear feet of stream restoration.
Construction activities are in progress and are expected to be completed in January 2025.
Contractors, county staff, and site inspectors will be at the project site on foot and wearing high-visibility clothing. Construction vehicles will access the project site from Little River Turnpike and Chowan Avenue. The typical work week is Monday through Friday, with work beginning after 7:00 a.m. Please note that at some periods during construction, work may occur on weekends. Construction activities on weekends will occur after 9:00 a.m. These start times are in accordance with the Fairfax County Noise Ordinance.
Construction funding in the amount of $1,814,500.00 has been encumbered for Fiscal Year 2024. Stormwater projects are funded through the county Stormwater Service District.
