Beginning Monday, Feb. 17, Fred Smith Co., a contractor working on behalf of the Town of Wake Forest, will begin construction on the Dunn Creek Culvert Replacement Project along the 1200 block of East Juniper Avenue. The work is expected to be completed in the fall.
During construction, the portion of East Juniper Avenue from Meadowgrass Lane to Traditions Grande Boulevard will be closed. The road closure is necessary so crews can make improvements to the roadway. A signed detour will be place directing motorists around the work area.
