Work will begin next week on a new electrical duct bank to upgrade the connection between the electrical substation on Cameron Avenue and the main campus of UNC. The work will cause some traffic delays and changes in on-street parking along McCauley Street and a small stretch of Pittsboro Street.

Both McCauley and Pittsboro streets will remain open to traffic during the project, expected to end in late spring. When a lane needs to be closed because of construction, traffic will be directed by flagmen. Some on-street parking may not be available because of construction. Alternate parking is available between 5 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. in the nearby Wilson Court parking lot on the Carolina campus.

The trimming of low-hanging tree branches along the street is scheduled to begin Feb. 19, followed a week later by excavation for the duct bank.
