Garner residents, mark your calendars. The intersection of White Oak Road, Hebron Church Road, and Ackerman Road will see a new roundabout open to traffic on August 26, following the completion of the second phase of construction the evening before. Commuters should prepare for changes in traffic patterns starting Tuesday morning, according to the Town of Garner.
Motorists will need to navigate the new roundabout at the intersection of White Oak Road, Hebron Church Road, and Ackerman Road with care, as the site remains an active construction zone. While the opening marks a significant milestone for the project, officials caution drivers to slow down and follow new speed limits and traffic signs when approaching and entering the roundabout. This intersection represents a notable change from the previous stop-and-go pattern, and patience is advised during the transition.
The latest update from the Town of Garner promises relief to those impacted by construction-related detours, with road closures on Hebron Church Road and Ackerman Road lifting just in time for the roundabout's debut. This comes with the usual caveat: all of this is, of course, weather permitting. So, if Mother Nature throws a curveball, there could be delays. Still, the plan as of now is clear: come August 26, it's all systems go for the White Oak roundabout.
