Tree trimming scheduled along North Main Street/US 1A during week of April 24

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 - 3:45pm

During the week of April 24, the Town of Wake Forest will close portions of North Main Street/US 1A from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. according to the following schedule:

  • Monday, April 24 – northbound North Main from North Avenue to East Cedar Avenue

  • Tuesday, April 25 – southbound North Main from East Cedar Avenue to North Avenue

  • Thursday-Friday, April 27-28 – North Main from Chestnut Avenue to Harris Road

The temporary closures are necessary to allow tree crews to safely prune street trees to ensure adequate street, sidewalk, and driveway clearance. The closures will also allow crews to trim tree limbs and branches around overhead power lines.

Signs, cones, and flaggers will be in place directing traffic around the designated work areas. Delays are expected, so motorists are encouraged to avoid these areas if possible and use another route. For more information, email Urban Forestry Coordinator Luke Devores at [email protected].

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.
