Overnight Sewer Line Inspections – Main Street - Beginning Monday, December 8

The Town of Franklin is working with Duke’s Services from Pittsboro, NC to inspect and clean the sewer lines under Main Street. This will require lane reductions and overnight work. Traffic control measures will be in place beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, December 8, 2025. There will be noise associated with the cleaning using high pressure water and suction trucks during the overnight hours. It is estimated that the work will take two days and the streets will be reopened early each morning to prevent traffic and parking impacts.

The CCTV inspection will allow for detailed examination of the sewer system’s condition and can identify areas that may need to be repaired or replaced. As the Town of Franklin is actively seeking proposals for a downtown redevelopment plan, and resurfacing by NCDOT is slated to be let for bids in late 2026, this proactive inspection will provide the Town with ample time to budget for and make any necessary improvements prior to any new surfacing.
