WAKE FOREST, NC – Beginning at 7 p.m. tonight (Thursday, Aug. 6), and continuing through 5 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, Park Construction of NC, a contractor working on the Wake Forest Water Main Replacement & Repair Project, will reduce access to the Durham Road/South Wingate Street/South Avenue intersection. Access to the intersection will be limited, so crews can pave the roadway following the recent installation of water and sewer lines.
A four-way flagger operation will be in place to safely direct motorists through the work area. Delays are expected, so motorists may wish to avoid the area if possible and take an alternate route.
The contractor is starting work at 7 p.m. Thursday evening to reduce the impact on travelers and make the work safer for crews.
Park Construction will also close the portion of South Avenue from South Wingate to the South Main Street/US 1A roundabout from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The temporary road closure is also necessary to allow crews to pave the roadway following the recent installation of water and sewer lines.
