Prepare for a slowdown if you're planning to traverse the intersection of North White Street and East Perry Avenue. In an advisory spotted on the Town of Wake Forest's official website, roadwork is scheduled to swing into action tomorrow, with the potential to stretch the patience of motorists from 8 a.m. till 3 p.m. They'll be honing in on a stretch of North White Street that needs some attention, and predictably, this fix isn't one that can happen without a bit of give and take.
According to the Town of Wake Forest's announcement, this necessary inconvenience boils down to a partial lane closure and the transformation of a two-lane road into a single-lane funnel, occasionally allowing two-way traffic. The nearby portion of East Perry from North White to North Taylor Street won't be sharing in the fun—instead, it's slated for a complete closure.
While the bulk of us wish for clear lanes and green lights, the Town's crews will be redirecting westbound East Perry Avenue traffic in a less-than-direct detour. They're mapping out a path that will take drivers left onto North Taylor Street, then right onto Lee Street, and finally onto North White Street again.
Flaggers are enlisted to wave and signal their way through the day, ensuring that vehicles can edge past the work zone. Signage, less animate but equally informative, will stand ready to guide those at the wheel.
