On Friday, November 18, the contractor is planning to direct traffic onto the newly paved portions of Veterans Parkway and Church Street, that is, just south of the RR tracks on Church Street. The plan is to shift the traffic from the southbound lanes of Raleigh-Millington (Church St) over to the northbound lanes. The traffic will remain two-way, but just shifting from the western lanes and bridge over to the eastern lanes and bridge. The traffic control north of the RR tracks will remain similar, with southbound traffic being merged into the left southbound lane instead of the right lane. The traffic control on Old Raleigh Millington will remain the same for now.
On Monday, November 28, the contractor is planning to begin to cut a trench across Highway 51 for installation of a large drain culvert. Simply put, one lane in each direction will be closed for about two days (leaving one lane in each direction open). A trench will be cut and the drain will be installed within the closed lanes. Following this, those lanes will be opened and the other lane in each direction will be closed for about two days for continued construction.
