Raleigh residents, gear up for a bit of a detour starting this coming week. The city has announced that Raleigh Water is set to embark on a water and sewer improvement project which will lead to the closure of the 100 block of East Morgan Street, nestled between South Wilmington Street and South Blount Street. According to the City of Raleigh's official release, this closure will be in effect daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., starting Monday, June 2, and is projected to extend through June 27.
The work will be part of ongoing efforts to upgrade city infrastructure and is not expected to interfere with regular water and sewer service. For those wondering what to expect, the road closure will prevent through traffic on the 100 block of East Morgan Street during working hours, with parking restrictions being enforced in designated areas. Delays could be a part of your daily commute, and drivers are advised to consider alternative routes when possible.
In terms of navigation, eastbound traffic on East Morgan Street will be rerouted: a right turn onto South Salisbury Street, a left onto East Hargett Street, another left onto Person Street, and a final right onto New Bern Avenue should keep you on track. Motorists heading towards the work zone can anticipate delays and are recommended to avoid the area if it's an option.
It's important for drivers to stay alert for these markers to navigate the detours with ease. In a bit of good news, nearby homes and businesses won’t have to worry about disruptions in their water and sewer service, so you can still expect to take that morning shower or run the dishwasher without a hitch.
