Duke Energy is beginning the design phase for underground utility work along Bluford Avenue, from SR 50 to Delaware Street. The City is considering a phased approach for this streetscape project, focusing first on the section from Delaware Street to Geneva Street, and then from Geneva Street to Maine Street. Funding for Duke Energy's undergrounding work is anticipated through a state budget appropriation for hurricane hardening and resiliency. This project will involve site clearing, grading, underground utility installation, and paving. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this project should reach out early to understand the scope and potential phases before formal bids and permits are finalized.
