CARRBORO – Work continues on the yearlong project to replace Weaver Street’s collapsing roadbed and the 80-year-old sewer line beneath it.
The first phase of the $1 million project started last week at the eastern end of the road and will work west toward the intersection of Main and Weaver streets, across from Town Hall. Work on the replacement of the water main has already brought Weaver Street down to one lane in the east block.
Starting today (Thursday), the detour on the CW bus route will be adjusted to continue on West Main Street to Hillsborough Road because of the construction. The bus stops at Weaver Street Market and the Carrboro Century Center will be 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 will be 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.
