Work on a Dr. Calvin Jones/NC 98 Bypass resurfacing project will require a series of overnight lane closures over the next several weeks.
Carolina SunRock, a private contractor working on behalf of NCDOT, will reduce to one lane portions of Dr. Calvin Jones Highway/NC 98 Bypass from Jones Dairy Road to Capital Boulevard/US 1 Sundays-Thursdays from 7 p.m.-6 a.m. The lane closures are necessary to allow crews to resurface the roadway. Weather permitting, the work will be completed in late August.
Signage and flaggers will be in place to manage traffic flow and 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. each evening to reduce the impact on travelers and make the work safer for crews. For more information, email NCDOT Assistant Resident Engineer Jansen Quarandillo at Jrquarandillo@ncdot.gov.
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.
