Motorists navigating through Wake Forest may need to tap the brakes for a new construction update. Crowder Construction Company is diving into the Dunn Creek Greenway Phase 3 project, prompting lane reductions on Wait Avenue. Beginning today and stretching through May, a segment of the busy thoroughfare will shrink down to a single lane. The work schedule declares the closures will persist from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and some Saturdays, so setting out early or planning alternate routes might just save some sanity.
Between Traditions Grande Boulevard and Havisham Court, the path narrows, tasked crews with the hefty job of moving waterlines and shaping up the street with fresh drainage, curb, gutter, and a concrete multi-use path. Despite the necessary inconvenience, you can expect some order in the chaos. According to a statement obtained by the Town of Wake Forest, "Signage and flaggers will be in place managing traffic flow and safely directing motorists through the work area."
With delays on the horizon, patience might be just as crucial as a well-planned detour. Residents and visitors alike are advised to consider the ripple effects of construction. Local businesses and daily commutes could be taking a hit from the slower traffic and navigation hiccups. Staying informed and flexible during these times might be the key to dodging the bulk of traffic troubles.
