New Haw Creek Sidewalk project is on track and progressing
Extended lane closures planned for summer + water interruption overnight on June 12
Construction on the New Haw Creek Road Sidewalk project is kicking into high gear while school is out this summer! Starting Monday, June 16, drivers can expect longer lane closure hours to be in effect through the summer months to accelerate progress. When schools start again in August, the contractor will resume the normal schedule with no lane closures from 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. - 6 p.m.
To create space for the new sidewalk, considerable grading and earthwork has been completed on the southwest end of the project area, forming a road shoulder. Temporary seeding has been planted on the exposed soil to prevent erosion as the contractor transitions focus to underground utility relocation.
Planned water interruption overnight on June 12
A temporary water interruption is scheduled to occur overnight starting at 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, and is expected to be complete by 6 a.m. the following morning. This interruption is necessary to allow for the relocation of water utilities, which must occur before the installation of new stormwater piping and retaining wall foundation. Impacted water customers who are signed up for AVL Alert will receive a notification from the City of Asheville's Water Resources Department about the planned interruption in water service. The interruption is expected to impact properties on New Haw Creek Road between Beverly Road and Reese Road, and all properties on Bethesda Road.
