A detour has been set for Carrboro commuters travelling on South Greensboro Street this summer, available here, or commuters can consider alternate routes such as W. Main Street and Merritt Mill Road.
According to the town, pedestrian and bike travel will be accommodated with a gravel walkway and safety fence through the work zone and access to residences and businesses in the immediate area will still be accessible.
