City of Wilmington addresses flooding on New Centre Drive
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The city of Wilmington saw some flooding Sunday after a downpour in the afternoon.
Videos captured near the intersection of New Centre Drive and South College Road Sunday show several feet of standing water.
The area has been prone to flooding in the past. A city spokesperson told WWAY there is a plan in place to address flooding in that area.
The Clear Run Branch project is the largest stormwater management project in the city’s history.
Phase one of the $16 million project wrapped up in 2023, with stormwater pipes being installed under College Acres Drive.
Phase two—which is currently in the design phase—will see large stormwater pipes installed near South College and New Centre.
It’s not clear yet when that project will be complete.
