Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road Stormwater Improvements

We are planning to make updates to the stormwater system near the intersection of Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road. These upgrades will help reduce road and home flooding. It'll also improve the stream channel in this area.

This project originated from the South Raleigh Drainage Studies.
