On Monday, June 25, State Contracting Inc. will begin building a sidewalk on East Wait Avenue from Allen Road to Traditions Grande Boulevard and a multi-use path along West Oak Avenue from the Harris-Wall-West Oak intersection to Abercrombie Road.
The project should be complete in late 2018 or early 2019. A part of the town’s priority pedestrian corridors project, it is jointly funded by the town and a LAPP contract with the state Department of Transportation. The winning bid was $2,238,848.
Drivers should expect periodic lane closures along East Wait and West Oak throughout the duration of the project, so motorists may wish to avoid these areas and take alternate routes. Whenever a lane closure is required, the contractor will utilize flaggers to safely direct traffic through the work area.

I’m so excited for the West Oak path!! So many people walk to Joyner along the road —it’s dangerous. Thanks Wake Forest!
