Section of Central Avenue to close for at least two weeks

A section of Central Avenue near the Plaza will be closed for the next two weeks to allow Charlotte Water to conduct emergency repairs on a water line. The line is on the 1300 block near Hawthorne Lane.

The agency posted a tweet about detours for both car and bike commuters. Charlotte Water says access to businesses will be maintained — a sore point for many nearby shops and restaurants after the yearslong closure nearby for the Hawthorne Bridge reconstruction.

The Charlotte Area Transit No. 9 bus may potentially be affected, with multiple stops in the area. That’s the city’s busiest bus route.
