Old Hampden Utility Improvements – July 2025

Work is progressing on the Old Hampden Utility Improvements Project, and the next construction phase is scheduled to begin Tuesday, July 15.

The current closure from South Logan Street to South Pearl Street will reopen to traffic, and the closure will shift east, closing Old Hampden Avenue from South Pearl Street to South Washington Street.

Crews will continue upgrading aging utility infrastructure along the corridor, including water and stormwater pipes originally installed in the 1950s. These systems are nearing the end of their useful life and have contributed to water main breaks and storm-related flooding in the area.
