Construction

Construction is set to begin as early as February 16, 2026, starting with contractor mobilization, staking, and site preparation. To safely accommodate the sewer upgrades, portions of the Neuse River Trail will be temporarily closed in early March. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we work to improve local infrastructure and protect the environment. (Greenway Alerts)

History

Preliminary condition assessment was completed in 2017. This assessment found a number of issues with the existing sewer system. Should these issues not be corrected, a failure of the system could occur.

Recent system capacity modeling indicated that this section of the replacement sewer should be upsized from 48 to 60-inch diameter.
