2025 Street & Alley Paving
Almost done! Just a few more streets and alleys to go, and we’re wrapping up soon. View the paving map and list of areas. (Note: This is separate from the work on Tipton Street.)
Long-Term Control Plan
The LTCP is a federally mandated project to separate Huntington's century-old combined sewer system. The construction route along parts of Lafontaine, Tipton, and Division streets will also include complete street and sidewalk reconstruction.
Latest LTCP info as of May 29, 2025
Main sewer line section from Byron to Canfield/Division is complete.
Tipton sewer installation continues — 5 blocks to go between Poplar and Byron!
Curb/sidewalk prep underway on the project’s east end.
Full street restoration will follow to avoid piecemeal repairs.
Intersection Closures
Poplar & Tipton: Reopening soon!
Cherry & Tipton: Closing in 1–2 weeks
Jefferson & Tipton: Closing after Heritage Days (no sooner than June 16)
Thanks for your continued patience as we build a better Huntington!
