Closings and Delays

Temporary Closure: Morrisville Dog Park 

The Morrisville Dog Park, located at 329 Franklin Upchurch Senior Street, will be closed on Wednesday, Aug. 26, for scheduled maintenance.

Temporary Closure: Section of Indian Creek Greenway

A section of the Indian Creek Greenway is currently temporarily closed as part of NCDOT's Airport Boulevard extension project, and is expected to remain in place until the project is complete. To maintain connectivity for greenway users, a pedestrian and bike detour is in place spanning just over a quarter mile along Garden Square Lane. Use caution while traveling through the area and follow posted detour signs.

Town Center Temporary Road Closures

• Ongoing: Morrisville Community Library visitors will need to park in the new lot at Carolina Street and Foxglove Drive and walk along a marked route to the library entrance. Directional signs will guide visitors to and from the lot.

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

• Utility work is underway along Carolina Street, and rolling, linear 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.  

• Beginning Monday, August 10, contractors will close the two westbound lanes on Town Hall Drive for one month to install sanitary sewer lines for the Town Center project. Traffic will shift to one lane in each direction, and flaggers will assist with temporary lane changes.

  • Residents on Carolina Street will need to detour via Church Street
  • Morrisville Community Library accessible parking patrons should enter by turning left from Jeremiah Street onto Town Hall Drive
  • The Indian Creek Trailhead will operate as a right‑in, right‑out only turn. If you are visiting the Western Wake Farmers Market on Saturdays and entering from Morrisville Carpenter Road, you will need to turn right onto Sears Ridge Lane (instead of Town Hall Drive). Follow Sears Ridge Lane to Carolina Street, which will lead you to the Town Hall Drive roundabout. Take the first right turn at the roundabout to reach Town Hall Drive, then continue until you can turn right into the Indian Creek Trailhead.
  
  
  

  

There are no current cancellations.

Airport Boulevard Extension, Phase 1

Led by NCDOT, the contractor has completed the box culvert located east of Garden Square Lane, and blasting between Town Hall Drive and Church Street has also been completed.

The contractor began utility work on Tuesday, Aug. 11, which will require lane closures on Town Hall Drive. As this work progresses, sidewalk access in the area will be adjusted. The left-side sidewalk closure (non-school side) will occur first, followed by the right-side sidewalk closure in the coming weeks. When the right-side sidewalk (school side) is closed, an additional crossing guard and Morrisville Police Department presence will be provided.

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.

Cedar Fork Elementary School Field Construction

Wake County Public School System will soon commence construction work on building new tennis courts and recreational fields on the open field next to Cedar Fork Elementary School. This work is anticipated to start in early to mid-August and visitors will see construction equipment and construction fencing being mobilized in the fields next to the school.

Twenty parking spaces at Cedar Fork Community Center will be fenced off due to construction. The remainder of the Cedar Fork Community Center Parking Lot will remain open.

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.

Upcoming McCrimmon Parkway Delays

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.
