Locks Creek Drainage Improvements
Project Overview:
The Locks Creek Drainage Improvements Project was identified through the Cape Fear 2 watershed study and has documented flooding concerns. The project is located near the intersection of Cedar Creek Road and Locks Creek Road in the area south of LA Dunham Road and East of Cedar Creek Road. There are 3 access points into the neighborhood; Pasture Lane and Carriage Road are both off of LA Dunham Road while the third one is Locks Creek Road off of Cedar Creek Road. The tributary to Locks Creek that runs parallel to Cedar Creek Road overtops LA Dunham Road and Locks Creek Road in frequent storm events. Both Locks Creek Road and Carriage Road are often inundated and can prohibit safe passage during larger storm events. Parts of Whisker Lake Drive, Turkey Run and Bombay Drive are inundated from backwater from Locks Creek in frequent storm events. Several pipe systems within the neighborhood are undersized which causes flooding in streets and adjacent parcels. The project involves the installation of approximately 2,350 linear feet of new storm pipe beginning on Coldwater Drive near Pasture Lane, thence along Pasture Lane, crossing Windmill Road, then routed along the backyards of several properties until crossing under Carriage Road with an outfall to the Lock’s Creek Tributary and approximately 1,530 LF of storm pipe improvements starting at the roadway sag along Lock’s Creek Road, thence along Bridgeton Way, crossing over Jereens Creek Road, then between several houses towards and across Bombay Drive with an outfall into Lock’s Creek. The project also proposes raising Locks Creek Road and upsizing the existing culverts under Locks Creek Road.
