Motorists in Wake Forest should brace for some delays starting tomorrow as construction work will lead to lane reductions on a busy stretch of Wait Avenue. Crowder Construction Company, tasked with the Dunn Creek Greenway Phase 3 project, will be narrowing the avenue to one lane between Traditions Grande Boulevard and Havisham Court, as they proceed with the installation of a new waterline.
According to an announcement posted on the town's official website, the construction activity is scheduled daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will wrap up by Friday. "The temporary lane closure is necessary to allow crews to install a new waterline," the announcement on the Town of Wake Forest website stated. To manage the flow of traffic and maintain safety, signage and flaggers will be strategically positioned in the area.
Residents and commuters using this route are likely to experience significant delays. The need for maintaining a degree of traffic flow, especially during peak hours, has the construction company and city officials urging people to consider alternative routes during the affected times to avoid congestion. The use of flaggers is intended to minimize disruptions, but patience will be key for those who must travel through the work zone.
Wake Forest's Wake Alert system and other traditional channels have been disseminating this information to the public, ensuring that drivers are made aware of the upcoming changes. "Delays are expected, so motorists may wish to avoid the area and take an alternate route," the announcement on the Town of Wake Forest website added.
