Please be advised that noise disruptions may occur during the blasting and construction activities. Work may begin as early as 7:00 AM. Traffic impacts should be expected on multiple streets within the construction area, primarily associated with deliveries, blasting activity, and excavation operations.

Utility crews are advancing I-85 SSI construction activity in Butner, with short-term traffic control and periodic lane restrictions expected as deliveries, bypass operations, and field work continue this week and into next. Please plan ahead and use caution when traveling near the active work areas—crews and equipment will be moving throughout the corridor.

Project Related Changes in Traffic Patterns for Butner, NC: motorists should anticipate intermittent impacts on A Street, West A Street, West B Street, 11th Street, West C Street, 8th Street (blasting later this week), and Will Suitt, with D Street scheduled to close during the week of March 9.

SGWASA’s I-85 Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project is scheduled to continue with contractor activity focused on East Middleton Drive, West Middleton Drive, and nearby connecting routes as crews continue force main installation and utility coordination.

During this work, the public may see crews potholing existing utilities, installing 16-inch and 24-inch force main segments, and moving equipment and materials toward East Lyon Station Road. Traffic control measures, including lane closures and flagging operations, may be used as needed along East Middleton Drive, West Middleton Drive, Will Suitt Road, East Lyon Station Road, and Joe Peed Road to support safe construction access and material delivery.

Driveway crossing work is also planned along East Middleton Drive. SGWASA appreciates the public’s patience as this infrastructure improvement work continues.
