Water line rehab to close lanes on Reynolds Place through March

Reynolds Place will see occasional lane closures and traffic delays daily from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM starting Tuesday, January 20, as crews carry out water line rehabilitation between Oakland Avenue and Spring Garden Street. The work is part of the City’s Water Rehabilitation Program and is funded by water and sewer utility payments.

Traffic control signs and cones will be in place along the work zone. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid congestion during the work window. Dates and work hours are subject to change because of weather or last-minute adjustments, so commuters should plan for potential shifts in the schedule.

The contractor on site is Mainlining America; residents with questions about the construction can contact the contractor at 336-825-0637. For urgent water and sewer emergencies call 336-373-2033. General questions may also be directed to Shane Messer at 336-574-3550.

City officials say the rehabilitation work aims to maintain the reliability of the water system by repairing or replacing aging infrastructure that can lead to service interruptions or emergency repairs if left unattended. While the scheduled work primarily affects lanes of Reynolds Place, nearby streets may see spillover traffic during peak hours as drivers seek alternatives.

Local businesses, commuters and delivery services that use the Reynolds Place corridor should expect intermittent delays and factor extra travel time into morning and midday schedules. Pedestrians and cyclists should heed signage and temporary detours near the work zone; lane shifts may alter crossing patterns and curbside access at times.

The project timeline runs through Monday, March 9, but that end date could change if crews encounter unforeseen conditions or if weather forces work stoppages. Residents and regular users of the corridor should watch for posted notices and follow directional signs during the work period.

This rehabilitation is part of routine infrastructure upkeep funded through the city’s water and sewer utility payments, a reminder of how everyday bills support local public works. Expect a temporary increase in traffic disruption in the Reynolds Place corridor over the next several weeks; monitor posted signs, allow extra travel time, and use the contact numbers above for questions or emergencies.
