Town begins major road repair/resurfacing

The Town of Wake Forest is about to begin a major road rehabilitation and resurfacing project targeting over 20 local streets and roadways.

The 2024 Road Resurfacing Project will consist of concrete work which will begin in mid-January, and asphalt work that is scheduled to start in March (weather permitting). The initiative will involve full depth patching, roadway repairs, and repaving, along with the replacement and repair of curb and gutter. Several black ADA ramps will also be replaced with yellow mats per national standards.

On Monday, Jan. 15, and continuing weekdays from 7 a.m.-4 p.m., Fulford & Jones, a subcontractor of Fred Smith Company working on behalf of the Town of Wake Forest, will begin concrete work along the following streets:

• Fairlake Drive
• East Dunpatrick Place
• Guinness Place
• St. Catherines Drive
• West Dunpatrick Place
• Wahlbrink Drive

Affected residents will be notified of work in advance by door hangers. During the scheduled work dates, these residents will be prohibited from parking their vehicles along the street. Vehicles left on the street on the scheduled work dates will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Once the work begins, detour signs and flaggers will direct traffic around the work areas. Motorists in these areas should use caution, obey flag signals from construction personnel, and take the signed detour or choose an alternate route.

The 2024 Road Resurfacing Project is a 2022 Wake Forest Bond Referendum initiative. For more information, including an interactive map of all targeted streets and roadways, visit https://bit.ly/WFStreetResurfacingProject or contact Civil Engineer Min Htun at 919-435-9510 or mhtun@wakeforestnc.gov.
