Weaver Street update

Posted on April 28, 2011April 28, 2011 by Staff

CARRBORO – Water main installation in the west block of Weaver Street continues, with the westbound lane closed as work moves toward Carrboro Town Hall.

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.

In the west block, a new water main has been installed from North Greensboro Street to the Weaver Street/Oak Avenue intersection. The road will typically be open to vehicle traffic and pedestrians, though there may be times of limited access.

The east block of Weaver Street remains closed to all vehicular traffic and will remain closed until late May or early June as work continues on the yearlong project to replace the street’s collapsing roadbed and the 80-year-old sewer line beneath it.

The contractor continues removing road surface and base, with new stone placed as the sub-grade is prepared and compacted. Similar work will continue for several weeks.

Contractors also plan work for the interconnection of two waterlines.

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.

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.
