Utility contractors have been making progress on the sewer line replacement project on the east side of Town and are nearing completion of C Street. During the work, it was determined that the culvert under C Street was failing and needed to be replaced, so this was added to the scope of work for the project. As part of the sewer line work, traffic on East Franklin Street (NC Highway 73) will be reduced to one lane in the vicinity of C Street. Work will begin Sunday, September 29, 2024 and will continue 24 hours a day for approximately one week. The round the clock schedule has been approved by NCDOT in order to expedite the work and reduce the amount of time for the lane closure.
