Greenville Announces Temporary Closure of Cleveland Street for Sewer Upgrades
Hey there, Greenville residents! If you’re planning to drive around town between March 17 and March 31, you might want to take note of some important construction news that could affect your travel plans. Cleveland Street is set to close completely during this period as part of the South Downtown Sewer Improvement project. The section of Cleveland Street being affected stretches from Pearl Avenue to University Ridge, so please mark your calendars and keep these dates in mind.
What’s Happening?
The purpose of this closure is to facilitate the installation of new sewer lines to improve the city’s overall sewage system. This is all part of a larger plan aimed at increasing the sewer capacity to handle future wastewater flow and prevent any sanitary overflow issues. You might be wondering why this is crucial. Well, with the rapid growth and development in the area, these upgrades are essential to ensure our waste management systems keep pace with our community’s expanding needs.
Detour Information
Now, you probably have a few places to be, and while it’s a bummer that Cleveland Street will be closed, the city has set up some convenient detour routes to help you navigate around the construction zone. Drivers can reroute through Church Street to avoid the closed area. Remember to keep an eye out for road signs and follow the directions during this time.
The Bigger Picture
This closure is just part of an ambitious project costing a whopping $6.39 million. The funds will go towards improving the existing 8-inch and 12-inch gravity sewers positioned between McDaniel Avenue and Church Street. You heard that right! This comprehensive overhaul means better utilities for years to come.
Why This Matters
Upgrading our sewer systems may not seem as exciting as a new park or community event, but it plays a vital role in making our city function smoothly. With improvements in our sewer lines, residents can expect fewer sewage backups and better service overall. No one likes dealing with unexpected plumbing issues, after all!

For those of you who like to stay in the loop regarding city happenings, more information and updates about the progress of this essential project can be found on the City of Greenville’s official website. It’s a great resource not only for this project but for all things concerning our wonderful city.
In conclusion, while it’s going to be a bit of a hassle to reroute during these weeks, just remember that these improvements are for the greater good. Greenville is gearing up for a future that can accommodate all of us comfortably and safely. So buckle up, take a deep breath, and prepare for a short detour on your daily commute.
