I-85 SSI Project
The South Granville Water and Sewer Authority partnered with engineering experts CDM Smith to conduct the I-85 Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project.
This project will replace aging materials to maintain an infrastructure that meets Granville County’s present and forthcoming capacity demands.
Two Week Look Ahead
11/4/26, 12:21 PM
Construction continues across several I-85 SSI Project work areas. Park Construction plans to complete the railroad and microtunnel tie-ins before returning to 8th Street at C Street to finish remaining sewer installation. Work on 8th Street is nearing completion, with final paving tentatively planned before Thanksgiving.
Blasting continues along C Street, where intermittent gas service impacts remain possible. Final paving is also planned for 8th Street and Railroad Avenue.
Along Joe Peed Road, crews will continue 20-inch force-main installation, with traffic flagging and periodic lane closures used as necessary. Next week, installation is planned to continue between WB Clark Road and East Lyon Station.
Traffic Impacts
- 8th Street: Full Closure
- C Street: Full Closure
- Railroad Avenue: Partial Closure
- Joe Peed Road: Periodic lane closures
Please follow posted traffic controls and use caution around active work zones.
Please be advised that blasting and construction activities may cause noise near the project area. Other work may begin as early as 7:00 AM and end at 10:00 PM, while jack-and-bore tunneling near the Norfolk Southern railroad crossing will continue 24 hours a day until complete. Nearby customers may hear tunneling noise overnight. Deliveries, blasting and excavation may also affect traffic on multiple streets within the construction area.
