Beginning next week, (Monday Dec 2), E. Braxton Foushee Street will return to two-way traffic. At the same time, work will begin on Maple Ave Extension. Maple Avenue Extension will be closed for about four weeks (the month of December) while it is regraded and repaved.
Access to houses on Maple Avenue, the houses and businesses on E. Braxton Foushee Street, as well as the parking lot at the end of East Braxton Foushee will be maintained by two-way traffic on E. Braxton Foushee Street.
Background:
This roadwork is part of the construction of the 203 Project, newly named the Drakeford Library Complex. We look forward to welcoming everyone at the new public center in Carrboro that will be both a library and civic building. After construction is completed, it will take some time for services to move in and become operational. The grand opening date will be announced broadly as soon as it is confirmed. This will be set in coordination between the Town of Carrboro and Orange County, following the completion of construction, and the move-in of furniture and library materials.
The $42 million development will be the future home of the Orange County Southern Branch Library. The facility will also provide a permanent home for the Orange County Skills Development Center; Carrboro Recreation, Parks and Cultural Resources Department; WCOM Radio; and performance/multipurpose uses. The Drakeford Library Complex will provide opportunities for education, art, and community connection.
