The Dept. of Public Works is ready to begin the second phase of its improvements on the north side of Jefferson Avenue in Union Hill. Work is planned to start on the stretch between Leigh Street and 25th Street on Monday, Oct. 21.

This phase of construction will improve drainage and install brick sidewalks, accessibility ramps, and landscaping. It will also replace the curb and gutters.

The stretch of road will remain open while it is under construction, but DPW is asking Richmonders to slow down and be mindful of workers when they drive past the project.

Work is expected to be complete in spring 2025.
