Convention Center Expansion Joint Project

Maintaining City Properties

We are completing maintenance work on the expansion joints that are placed around the convention center in downtown Raleigh. 

Expansion joints connect building material and release stress on structures from thermal/mechanical movement. The joint materials need to be replaced with new ones.

Most work will take place on the sidewalk and curbs. The expansion joints are underground so you will not see a lot of change when the project is complete.

Construction

The current scope of the project is 98 percent completed. However, we are adding some additional work as more sections of the expansion joint were identified as needing improvements. Adding work to the existing contract will be more efficient than doing it under a new contract. The scheduled completion is in May 2023. 

If you have questions about this project, please email us at ConstructionManagement@raleighnc.gov.
