The Town of Wake Forest will temporarily close the portion of northbound North Main Street/US 1A from East Walnut Avenue to East Juniper Avenue Friday, Aug. 15, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

The temporary lane closure is necessary to allow crews to remove a tree that poses a danger to public safety. 

A signed detour will be in place to safely direct traffic around the work area. Delays are expected, so motorists may wish to avoid the area and choose an alternate route.

The Town of Wake Forest offers an interactive map that gives residents a user-friendly and convenient way to view local road closures and restrictions. Available at https://bit.ly/WFTrafficMap, the Traffic Alerts Map allows visitors to point and click on current road and lane closures throughout Wake Forest. Motorists are encouraged to use the information to help plan their route and move safely through work areas.
