Weaver Street repairs continue

Posted on April 14, 2011April 14, 2011 by Staff

CARRBORO – The east block of Weaver Street remains closed to all vehicular traffic and will remain closed for approximately four to eight more weeks as work continues on the yearlong project to replace the street’s collapsing roadbed and the 80-year-old sewer line beneath it.

The first phase of the $1 million project started in March at the eastern end of the road and will work west toward the intersection of Main and Weaver streets, across from Town Hall.

Last week, contractors began installing a storm-sewer system along the south side of the street, milling off asphalt surface and excavating the existing road base. Similar work will continue for several more weeks.

Pedestrian access remains open along Weaver Street, though pedestrians may be directed to one side of the street or the other, depending on the proximity of construction activities.

Water main installation work will soon begin in the west block of Weaver Street near the intersection with North Greensboro Street.

The bus stops at Weaver Street Market and the Carrboro Century Center are temporarily closed. Passengers may board the CW bus at the alternate bus stops on Main Street at Jade Palace (westbound) and on Main Street at Weaver Street Realty (eastbound).

The bus stops on Weaver Street at Lindsay Street also are temporarily closed. Passengers may board the bus at the alternate bus stops on Main Street at Carrboro Town Hall.

Town officials have said drivers should expect congestion downtown, and suggest using Estes Drive Extension and N.C. 54 bypass for through traffic and Jones Ferry Road as an alternate route into downtown.
