WAKE FOREST, NC – Beginning Tuesday, May 5, and continuing through Friday, May 8, from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. daily, Fred Smith Company, a contractor working at the future site of Wake Forest Fire Station #6, will reduce to one lane with intermittent two-way traffic a portion of Wait Avenue/NC 98 in the vicinity of Middlegame Way/Bowling Forest. The temporary lane closure is necessary to allow crews to install a water line.
Signage and flaggers will be in place to manage traffic flow and safely direct motorists through the work areas. Delays are expected, so motorists may wish to avoid these areas and take an alternate route.
The Town of Wake Forest is sharing this information as a courtesy. For more information, email David Lawson at dlawson@fredsmithcompany.net.
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.
