City of Durham Closes Revere Road to Thru Traffic for Major
Reconstruction

Closure and Detours in Effect Until July 2011

 

DURHAM, N.C. - Effective today, the entire length of Revere Road, from
N.C. Highway 54 to Sedwick Road, will be closed to all thru traffic in
order to complete a four-month reconstruction and resurfacing project.  

 

"There are seven individual sections of Revere Road that are slated for
complete closure during the reconstruction process," said Michael
Hughes, assistant engineering manager for the City's Public Works
Department. "This is a very extensive project that requires work to be
completed section-by-section in order to maintain access to the entire
community for residents of the Parkwood," Hughes added.

 

Electronic message boards and other signage is in place to advise local
residents of established detour routes within the community.

 

Revere Road is closed to thru traffic and motorists should use
alternative routes indicated on electronic message boards on N.C.
Highway 54 and Sedwick Road.  Additional detour signage has been posted
on the alternate routes to direct thru traffic around the Revere Road
closure.  

  

Revere Road will remain closed to thru traffic until July 2011, in order
for the City to completely reconstruct the seven sections of the road,
repave the entire length of the road, and replace approximately 9,000
feet of curb and many driveway connections.

 

Residents are encouraged to access the section-by-section road closing
and detours plans from the City's website at 
www.DurhamNC.gov/departments/works/revere/index.cfm. For additional
information, contact Tim Jackson, project manager with the City's Public
Works Department, at (919) 560-4326, ext. 30255 or by e-mail at 
Tim.Jackson at DurhamNC.gov.
