Wake Forest's extensive 2025 Road Resurfacing Project is literally laying down the foundations for smoother travel across the town, reaching further into neighborhoods this July. Announced earlier this year, the initiative has been progressively overhauling more than 60 streets, a venture that includes concrete and asphalt work expected to enhance the driving experience. The project, as detailed by the Town of Wake Forest, began with concrete work in February and is now set firmly to begin milling and paving operations.
Starting yesterday, Fulford & Jones, subcontractors for Blythe Construction, began concrete work on streets such as Falconhurst Drive, Kemble Ridge Drive, and Barrett Hall Lane. This follows last week’s milling and paving projects on other local streets, including Naxos Drive and Marjoram Court. The work includes not only new asphalt but also full-depth patching, repairs, and updates to curbs and gutters, including the installation of ADA-compliant ramps.
Residents impacted by the milling and paving schedule, which will continue through the week of July 7 on several other streets such as Shapinsay Avenue and Finchurch Circle, have been notified with door hangers well in advance. They face a strict no-parking rule on the dates when their streets will shape under the heavy machinery—the unwelcome alternative being towing at their own cost. Addressing convenience for the residents, the town assures that all necessary rerouting will be accented with clear detour signage and on-ground guidance from flaggers to ensure that safety follows smoothly on the heels of progress.
As drivers in Wake Forest adjust to road work in July, they can expect some delays. Signs and flaggers will help guide traffic around the construction zones. While the work may cause temporary disruptions, it aims to improve road conditions and strengthen the town’s infrastructure for the future.
