Duke Energy Utility Project Scheduled Along Hwy 24/27

June 5, 2026 By Emily

Duke Energy is scheduled to begin a duct bank installation project along Hwy 24/27 starting Monday, June 22, 2026.

Work will take place overnight between the hours of 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM to help minimize impacts to daytime traffic. The project will begin with an open-cut crossing on Hwy 24/27 near the electrical substation located west of Tucker Street.

During construction, motorists should expect periodic lane closures and temporary changes to traffic patterns, particularly as crews work to cross Hwy 24/27 and Meadow Creek Church Road. Drivers are encouraged to use caution, watch for construction signage, and allow extra travel time when passing through the area.

The City will continue to provide updates as the project progresses and additional information becomes available.

For questions regarding the project, please contact City Manager Cesar Correa at 704-888-5260.
