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 ultimately include complete street and sidewalk reconstruction.

- Latest LTCP info as of July 9, 2025

• Main sewer line section from Byron to Canfield/Division is complete.
• Tipton sewer installation continues — 4 blocks to go between Cherry and Byron!
• Curb/sidewalk prep underway on the project’s east end.
• Full street restoration will follow to avoid piecemeal repairs.

- Intersection Closures

• Cherry & Tipton: Currently closed.
• Jefferson & Tipton: Closing on or after July 14

Thanks for your continued patience as we build a better Huntington!

Division Street Reconstruction

Crews are continuing storm sewer work on Division Street to accommodate drainage and grading changes from the road's new design. This phase will continue through the week of July 7, with temporary closures of individual blocks as work progresses.

- What to Expect:

• Sidewalks: Some sections may be removed as needed for construction and to install ADA-compliant ramps.
• Driveways & Parking: Later in the project, access to driveways and on-street parking may be temporarily impacted. Our construction partners will coordinate directly with affected residents.

- Project Goal

This project, including work under the LTCP, will fully reconstruct Division Street between Guilford and Tipton.
