Construction Updates - June 2024

The City's survey team has started marking the construction limits, and you may see some new staking in your yard. These stakes will help contractors locate the different types of easements we have acquired along the project.

The construction contract has finished routing and Carolina Sunrock, the construction contractor, is allowed to start work on June 17. The first few weeks expect crews to install construction fencing and erosion control. Once that work is complete the clearing operations will start.

Want to stay up to date on construction news? send your email to tiffanie.mazanek@raleighnc.gov and we will add you to our email listing for this project.
