Road resurfacing scheduled to begin Thursday along North Franklin Street, Groveton Trail & Jaffiley Court

Beginning Thursday, May 30, and continuing through Friday, June 14, Fred Smith Company, a contractor working on the 2024 Wake Forest Road Resurfacing Project, will reduce to one lane with intermittent two-way traffic the portion of North Franklin Street from Royal Mill Avenue to East Perry Avenue from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. each day.

The temporary lane closure is necessary to allow crews to resurface this portion of North Franklin Street, along with Groveton Trail and Jaffiley Court.

Signage and flaggers will safely direct motorists through the work areas.

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

Targeting over 20 Wake Forest streets and roadways, the 2024 Road Resurfacing Project consists of concrete work, which began in January, and asphalt work which is underway. The initiative involves full depth patching, roadway repairs, and repaving, along with the replacement and repair of curb and gutter. Several black ADA ramps are also being replaced with yellow mats per national standards.
