Lines of cars causing traffic disruptions around Northern Regional Center  

Monday, August 9, 2021 - 12:32pm

MapLines of cars queued along both sides of East Holding Avenue are causing periodic traffic delays and disruptions in the vicinity of the Wake County Northern Regional Center (NRC), 350 E. Holding Ave., due to increased numbers of residents getting tested for COVID.

To ensure an orderly traffic flow, Town officials are encouraging anyone planning to visit the testing site at the NRC to approach the facility from the Dr. Calvin Jones Highway/NC 98 Bypass. Motorists should then turn onto South Franklin Street and then onto Yellow Poplar. From there, turn right onto South White Street and right along East Holding Avenue before turning right into the NRC lot.

Signage will be installed later today to direct traffic and help ensure the safety of motorists.

Drivers are advised to plan ahead, remain patient and follow the direction of traffic control and all signage.

The NRC offers COVID-19 testing and vaccination according to the following schedule:

  • Sundays & Wednesdays: Closed

  • Mondays & Fridays: 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

  • Tuesdays & Thursdays: 12:30-7:30 p.m.
