Traffic Alert – Elm Avenue

Thursday, June 2, 2022 - 3:01pm

On Friday, June 3, from 8 a.m.-2 p.m., the Town of Wake Forest will close the portion of Elm Avenue from South Franklin Street to Deacon Ridge Street. The temporary closure is necessary to allow tree crews to remove a large tree that poses a danger to public safety.  

A signed detour will be in place directing traffic around the work area. Delays are expected, so motorists are encouraged to use an alternate route if possible.

For more information, contact Public Works Director Tim Bailey at [email protected].

The Town of Wake Forest offers an interactive map that gives motorists 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.
