Traffic Alert
Road Name Change Goes Into Effect on Monday

Effective March 1, drivers in Western Wake County should be aware that Green Level to Durham Road (SR 1652) and a portion of Alston Avenue (SR 1630) will be permanently renamed to Green Level Church Road. The affected roads are part of nine miles of state roads extending north and south, between U.S. 64 West in Apex and N.C. 55 Highway in Durham. New signage is being installed throughout the corridors. The name change eliminates duplicate road names, thus reducing confusion for public safety responders and motorists alike.
