Update FY21: Recent funding challenges have caused NCDOT to delay projects. This utility project will be delayed to correspond with the NCDOT project. The Brynn Marr Area Stormwater Project Phase II consists of improving open drainage channels, piped facilities, and areas to retain stormwater runoff. This includes stormwater facilities in the areas of Brynn Marr Road, Liberty Drive, Western Boulevard and NC24. Flooding in this area has affected both personal property and arterial roadways causing significant travel delays on both Western and NC24. Based on the initial study, the drainage beneath NC24 at Western Blvd needs to be improved to make the City's project successful. To that end and to also alleviate periodic flooding in proximity to the NC24-Western Blvd intersection, a NCDOT project to construct a culvert beneath NC24 is planned which will be capable of conveying runoff from a 50-year storm either alone or in conjunction with other existing pipes and culverts. Update: The schedule for the NCDOT project (TIP No. U-5508) has changed since the FY15 CIP. The initial design of this project has been abandoned in part due to the large number of utility conflicts. As a result, NCDOT is currently evaluating several other design options with anticipation of letting the project in 2022. As of July 13, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2026. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2026.
*Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
