Closings and Delays

Town Hall Drive Sidewalk Closures

The Town of Morrisville is working closely with NCDOT and Wake County Public Schools to provide additional pedestrian safety measures along Town Hall Drive from Treybrooke Drive to Old Corner Drive to assist pedestrians using the sidewalk network in this section. Additional directional and closure signage, rapid rectangular flashing beacons, vehicle delineators, maps, communications and police presence will be implemented in stages over the next 30 days to help augment the current sidewalk closures. Pedestrians are required to follow detours for safe passage throughout this section of sidewalk closures.

Cedar Fork Elementary School Field Construction

Wake County Public School System has begun construction on new tennis courts and recreational fields in the open area next to Cedar Fork Elementary School. Visitors will notice construction perimeter fencing being installed in the fields next to the school. Twenty parking spaces at Cedar Fork Community Center will be closed due to construction activities and temporary fencing.

Rough grading is continuing across the site, and crews will begin installing new water and sewer lines within the project area.

The field construction has also led to the closure of a portion of sidewalk between Old Corner Drive and Cedar Fork Elementary.  Due to that sidewalk closure some individuals walking to school have to cross Town Hall Drive at Old Corner Drive.  This increase in people utilizing the crossing and vehicles leaving the elementary school making U-turns at the same intersection have led to safety concerns.  The police department is requesting the public to avoid U-turns at that location and to remain vigilant to pedestrians utilizing crosswalks along Town Hall Drive.

Traffic adjustments and temporary lane closures will be announced in advance as they come up on the Town website to help mitigate disruptions to drivers.

Town Center Temporary Road Closures|

Each month, the Town shares a new progress‑update video featuring highlights of recent construction activity and a look at what’s coming next. View the September 2026 video here.

• Infrastructure and site work continues at the Town Center Green site.

• The parking deck at the multifamily housing site has topped off and structural work continues for the apartment building.

• Library patrons are asked to use the temporary parking lot accessible from Carolina Street through Church Street for library parking.

• Patrons should not park on Jeremiah Street because it creates a safety concern and interferes with vehicular travel lanes.

• Foxglove Drive from Jeremiah Street to Carolina Street is closed due to construction activity.

• Utility work is underway along Carolina Street, and rolling lane closures will continue progressing toward Church Street throughout the summer as crews rebuild the roadway and install new sidewalks.

• Construction activities will occur during normal daytime hours. No significant noise impacts are anticipated beyond typical construction sounds already common in the area.

Due to expected inclement weather, Public Safety Day (scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 3) has been canceled. 

Airport Boulevard Extension, Phase 1

Southbound traffic on Town Hall Drive is narrowed to one lane and the sidewalk on the west side of the street (non-school side) is closed. The contractor is widening Church Street and there will be intermittent lane closures on Church Street form the area Meeting Hall Drive to Treybrooke Drive until early to mid-October.

The contractor will soon begin installing a temporary sidewalk on Church Street. This will allow crews to install the proposed drainage while keeping a path open for pedestrians through the work area. The temporary sidewalk will be built in the permanent sidewalk’s location, with pedestrian channelization devices on both sides to help guide people safely through the area. Once the widening of Church Street is complete, crews will construct the permanent concreate sidewalk.

Note: NCDOT is responsible for managing the highway project and providing verified information about construction, traffic control, and the project schedule. In partnership with the Town of Morrisville, NCDOT will coordinate project updates. School transportation and campus operating information will come from the school or school system. The agencies are coordinating so residents receive consistent and timely updates.

NCDOT McCrimmon Parkway Project

Duke Energy and their contractors will be working along McCrimmon Parkway starting the week of July 6. This includes underground boring (installing pipes, conduits, and cables below ground) as well as some overhead work. You may see traffic control in the area. This could include flaggers and temporary lane closures, but crews will try to keep most work off the roadway to reduce traffic delays.

If traffic control is needed:

• Flaggers may be present on McCrimmon Parkway between Church Street and Chapel Hill Road.

• Lane closures, if required, would only affect the westbound lanes of McCrimmon Parkway between Church Street and Davis Drive.

Estimated completion: 6-8 months

Residents with questions can contact Duke Energy’s Public Engagement Office at 800‑365‑8979 or email NCGridWork@duke-energy.com. Duke Energy will also notify nearby customers directly in the coming days about the upcoming activity and expected traffic impacts.
