Raleigh – An eastbound lane on Tryon Road near Brisk Gallop Way is currently closed due to emergency repairs on a broken sewer line, significantly affecting both commuter traffic and school bus routes as students return to school. The city anticipates that the repairs will be completed and the road will fully reopen by the end of the week.
The lane closure is impacting back-to-school traffic, with delays expected on this busy commuter route. Drivers using Tryon Road can expect lane restrictions and increased congestion as the closure forces adjustments in local travel patterns. Initial reports indicated that only one lane would be closed, but city officials later announced that the entire eastbound lane in the 4400 block at the intersection with Brisk Gallop Way would be affected.
In addition to affecting drivers, the lane closure has led to necessary adjustments for school transportation routes. A spokesperson from the Wake County Public Schools stated that some bus stop locations have been altered due to the lane restrictions. City officials are working closely with school transportation staff to ensure that parents and guardians remain informed about these temporary changes to bus services.
As part of the detour plan, eastbound traffic on Tryon Road is being rerouted at Avent Ferry Road. Drivers are advised to turn left onto Avent Ferry Road and then make a right onto Lake Dam Road, which will allow them to reconnect to Tryon Road while circumventing the area of the closure.
While the city has indicated that crews are actively working to repair the broken sewer line, specific details regarding the duration of the repairs and how long Tryon Road will remain closed have not yet been provided. Local officials encourage all commuters and residents in the area to stay updated on the situation as it evolves.
This emergency situation comes at a crucial time as many families are readjusting to school schedules, and traffic patterns in the area are becoming more congested. City officials are committed to minimizing the impact of the repairs on commuters and school transportation, and they are taking steps to ensure timely communication with the public regarding the developments.
Motorists are reminded to exercise caution when driving in the area during this time of construction and to consider alternative routes to avoid delays. The city understands the challenges this closure presents and is striving to complete repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible.
As traffic conditions may continue to fluctuate, local authorities recommend checking for updates on the lane closure and remaining alert while navigating through the affected area. Keeping informed on travel changes will help ease the transition for both school buses and daily commuters as the city works towards restoring normal traffic flow on Tryon Road.
