This project aims to repair or replace the old water and sewer systems in downtown Raleigh. Many of the water and sewer lines in this area are really crucial and are in poor condition. The Phase 3 project is being developed in advance to support the future New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
Benefits
- Replaces aging water and sewer lines
- Prepares streets for future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) projects
- Supports growth and reliability for years to come
Traffic Impacts
We understand that temporary lane closures and parking restrictions can be inconvenient for people who live, work, and enjoy their time downtown. However, updating old infrastructure now can help avoid emergency pipe breaks in the future, which would cause a much larger disruption.
