Section of Central Avenue in Plaza Midwood expected to be closed until Friday

A busy section of Central Avenue in the heart of Plaza Midwood will be shut down for several days while Charlotte Water replaces a wastewater pipe.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A section of Central Avenue will be closed through Friday, July 15, while Charlotte Water repairs a damaged wastewater pipe. 

Charlotte Water crews were called to the area near Moo & Brew and the Thirsty Beaver Saloon around 7 p.m. on Friday, July 8. Workers determined a wastewater pipe would need to be replaced so the road was closed for construction. 

Central Avenue will remain closed from The Plaza to Hawthorne Lane for repairs. Drivers will be detoured onto Parkwood Lane to get around the closure.
