Raleigh Water schedules overnight closure along Elm Avenue

Raleigh Water will close the portion of Elm Avenue from South Main Street/US 1A to South White Street from 9 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 2) until approximately 5 a.m. tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 3). The overnight closure is necessary to allow crews to repair a water main. Water and sewer service in the area will not be affected.

Detour signage will be in place to manage traffic flow and safely direct motorists around the work area. Delays are expected, so motorists are encouraged to avoid the area if possible and take an alternate route. For more information, contact Raleigh Water’s Josh Bennett at [email protected].
