Beginning Tuesday night, Orange Water and Sewer Authority will close parts of East Rosemary, Hillsborough and Henderson Streets to replace several water pipes.

Construction will take place at two primary intersections and is estimated to last between four and six nights without work on Friday or Saturday night.

The intersections of Henderson and Rosemary and Hillsborough and Rosemary will have work being done between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The night work will involve closing lanes at each intersection, but through traffic will be maintained.

During the day, construction will take place along parts of Hillsborough and North Street. This section of the project is slated to start in mid-June and be completed by mid-August. This phase of daytime work will take place on select days between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Only one street will be closed to through traffic at a time and clear detours will be marked.

Residents and businesses in the construction area will continue have access and be notified of any direct impacts of the work. Construction is subject to change due to weather and other conditions, and drivers are encouraged to follow the road signs and proceed with caution through the construction sites.
