North Bridge Over Interstate 85YesCIP standalone project3/31/2023General ServicesNorth Bridge Over Interstate 85

The bridge project is being value engineered and re-designed to reduce construction cost. The project team will review and follow steps for approval of the re-design, including approval from NCDOT. Once the re-design is approved the project will go through the re-bidding process. The duct bank contractor is 90% complete with utility fiber tie-ins. The contractor will next start pulling fiber through the duct bank. Once the fiber pulling is complete, utility companies will begin splicing fiber for utility cut overs. Relocating utility infrastructure must be completed by the utility companies before roadway construction can start in this area. Because of the complex nature of the work, utility relocation can be a lengthy process. Our goal is to perform this work while keeping workers safe and maintaining access for commuters and surrounding businesses. Please obey all regulatory and informational signage to ensure everyone's safety.

  • ​Charlotte Water (CLTWater) is currently in the design phase of the Toby Creek Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project. The design phase is expected to end in October 2023.

  • After the design phase, construction is anticipated to begin in Summer 2025.

  • During the design phase, some properties have been identified for a potential permanent easement or temporary construction easement agreement along the proposed project route. Those property owners have been contacted directly by CLTWater.

  • Land acquired through easements will be used to build and maintain the required sewer pipes for this project. An easement allows CLTWater to use part of a property owner's land after a legal agreement has been reached. This includes the right to access, maintain, clear, repair, inspect, improve, renovate and replace facilities in the easement. CLTWater will work with individual property owners to finalize the terms of the agreement.

  • Beginning in March 2023, CLTWater's representatives, TELICS, will be in contact with individual property owners to set up a time to discuss the easement process and the next steps at their convenience.
