The City of Durham Water Management Department will replace a water line under Elizabeth St. The City must resurface the road after replacing the water line (approximately 0.40 miles of Elizabeth St. from Holloway St. to Dowd St). 

During this resurfacing process, the City can adjust current pavement marking designs on the road and install traffic calming features to increase safety for all road users. For example, on some roads, you can improve or add painted bike lanes and crosswalks, but this project will not allow you to address needs beyond the width of the road, such as building a new sidewalk. 

This roadway resurfacing design project will develop pavement marking designs that the City will install after construction. The designs will be based on current conditions and community input.

Funding

Planning and design for the Elizabeth St. roadway resurfacing project is City-funded through the Capital Improvement Plan.

PROJECT SCHEDULEProject Schedule Status

A design team - Kittleson & Associates and Three Oaks Engineering - was hired by the City of Durham to conduct field investigation and traffic analyses, develop design plans, and hold engagement meetings with the public. City staff kicked off the project in January. The design team is currently collecting data and assisting the City with planning public engagement activities. The City will begin holding public open houses in March 2024.
