As part of the Morrisville Parkway Extension project, the Town of Cary will temporarily close the intersection of Carpenter-Upchurch Road at Morrisville Parkway on June 19, 2010. The intersection will be closed and inaccessible from all directions until the end of August to allow construction crews to raise the roadway to an at-grade railroad crossing between Carpenter-Upchurch Road and NC 55. Message boards will be posted along Carpenter Upchurch Road and Louis Stephens Drive. Detour signs will be posted, and drivers are encouraged to use Louis Stephens Drive as an alternate route. Local traffic will be permitted on Carpenter-Upchurch Road.
