As of September 2026, the City of Raleigh is in the construction phase of a significant effort to repair and replace critical water and sewer lines in downtown. This segment of the project is intentionally timed to precede the upcoming New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit construction, ensuring that existing utility upgrades are completed before new street work begins. The project addresses the issue of aging underground infrastructure, which has become a priority for the utility to avoid emergency pipe failures and service disruptions. The $19 million investment aims to support long-term growth and increase the reliability of the sewer system for the downtown area.
