Raleigh’s Poole Road is set for a series of nightly lane closures. Starting at 7 p.m. each evening, and stretching until the early morning hours of 6 a.m., roadwork will be causing traffic disruptions as one lane will be shut down for repair work. This pattern is expected to impact the stretch between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Ajinomoto Drive, with the work anticipated to run through next Friday, according to a press release from the N.C.

Department of Transportation urges drivers to maintain caution through these zones and to allow additional time to reach their destinations.

Department of Transportation’s press release, to “use caution when traveling through the work zone” and to take account of these changes when planning nighttime or early morning commutes. It stands to note that these disruptions are at the behest of community betterment, laying the groundwork for smoother and more secure travel in the future…
