GREENVILLE, N.C. - Construction related to the Town Creek Culvert project is scheduled to temporarily close part of a major intersection in the Uptown district.

 

The northern half of the intersection of Evans Street and Reade Circle is expected to close Monday, July 29, 2019, to allow for the relocation of a water line beneath Reade Circle. This closure is expected to last approximately three weeks. This is part of a larger closure that will include the westbound lanes of Reade Circle between Cotanche Street and Dickinson Avenue.

 

Motorists traveling north on Evans Street towards the Uptown district will be detoured onto Reade Circle to the newly converted two-way portion of Cotanche Street and East Fifth Street. Motorists traveling south on Evans Street will be detoured onto Dickinson Avenue, Reade Circle, and Evans Street.

 

Additionally, the closed section of East Fifth Street near its intersection with Reade Circle is scheduled to reopen Thursday. This portion of the roadway has been closed since late February for construction as part of the Town Creek Culvert project.

 

Construction also continues on a reinforced box culvert on Reade Circle between East Fifth Street and Cotanche Street.
