Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road Stormwater Improvements

We are planning to make updates to the stormwater system near the intersection of Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road. These upgrades will help reduce road and home flooding. It'll also improve the stream channel in this area.

This project originated from the South Raleigh Drainage Studies.

Project Details

Type:: Stormwater
Budget:: $3 million
Project Lead:: Stormwater Management
Contractors:: WSP (Design)

We completed the design phase and advertised the project for construction bids.

Proposed Upgrades

The following changes will help reduce flooding and improve roadway safety by allowing stormwater to flow through the drainage system more easily when it rains:

Install new inlets and pipes along Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road;
Install new concrete box culverts under Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road;
Improve the channel between Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road to accommodate the larger box culverts;
Upgrade the stormwater system that goes past Elmhurst Circle;
Buyout and remove two homes previously subject to repetitive flooding.

Public Meeting

Stormwater staff hosted a public meeting on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Attendees had the opportunity to discuss the current status of the improvement project and provide feedback or concerns.
