Morning commuters beware: Construction on Jones Dairy Road is set to complicate your Tuesday travels. Iron Horse Contractors will be working on road widening efforts to pave the way for the new Quail Crossing Subdivision. As a result, drivers will experience a single-lane closure interrupted by intermittent bouts of two-way traffic between Green Mountain Drive and Friendship Chapel Road from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. next Tuesday.

Those looking to navigate this stretch should anticipate delays, as flaggers and signs, designed to manage the flow and ensure motorist safety, will be present. And for those who value their time, it might be wise seeking alternate routes. According to a notice issued by the Town of Wake Forest, the disruptions are a necessary evil to complete the road widening essential for accessing the burgeoning neighborhood.

For those pre-planning their detour or just interested in keeping tabs on the latest traffic snarls, the Town of Wake Forest comes equipped with an interactive map. A veritable digital traffic cone, the map's a click away at offering real-time insights into the current road and lane closures throughout Wake Forest. The hope is to help residents and visitors plan a smoother ride through the town's ever-evolving landscape.
