Raleigh Water schedules overnight closure along South Main Street/US 1A

Raleigh Water will close the portion of South Main Street/US 1A from West Owen Avenue to Elm Avenue from 9 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, Nov. 8) until approximately 3 a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov. 9). The overnight closure is necessary to allow crews to renew a water service in the 300 block of South 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 Elwood Armstrong at [email protected].
