AT&T and Duke Energy Infrastructure Removal Projects in Hendersonville
What happened
AT&T and Duke Energy are currently removing lines and poles in Hendersonville. This work is part of a larger road widening project that began in May 2025 and is scheduled for completion in November 2028. The project includes installing water and sewer lines, burying gas lines, and upgrading utility infrastructure.
Why it matters
The road widening project, which costs North Carolina $28 million plus $2 million for right-of-way, allows utility providers to upgrade lines and pipes. The additional costs associated with these utility upgrades are not covered under state contract rules.
