Due to increased spring programming at Baileywick Park, parking availability for walk-up visitors will be limited. Please plan accordingly and travel with caution.

Check here one hour prior to your class to see if your class is cancelled. You can also call the front desk at 919-996-4129 just prior to leaving home and we'll give you the latest information. Generally, we do not cancel classes any earlier than one hour prior to each class.

We are building a pedestrian bridge that spans over Wade Avenue/I440 and a new multi-use path along Blue Ridge Road from just north of Trinity Road to Reedy Creek Road. The project also includes Raleigh's first protected intersection.

Construction is underway on this project. There may be intermittent lane closures as the work progresses.
 

South Person Street will be closed between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and East Davie Street (300–800 blocks).

Intersections at East South Street, East Lenoir Street, and East Cabarrus Street will also be closed, so you’ll want to plan a different route. Expect some delays if you usually drive through this area.

A lane closure will be in place in the 100 block of South Wilmington Street, with lanes open. Motorists are urged to follow posted signs, drive carefully through work zones and consider alternate routes. The city thanks residents and visitors for their patience as crews make these improvements.

Crews are actively working on the Atlantic Avenue Improvement Project. There may be temporary lane closures and traffic shifts during this work. 

For your safety and that of the construction crews, please slow down and follow the flagger's instructions while driving through the construction zone. 

Construction crews are actively working on the Blue Ridge Road Widening South Project. There may be temporary lane closures during this work. Crews are scheduled to complete the project in Spring 2026.

For your safety, and that of the crews working on this project, drive cautiously through the construction zone. Please follow detours and signage, and expect delays. We appreciate your patience as we work to make Blue Ridge Road safer and more accessible for all users.

The Raleigh Water Sewer Maintenance Division is currently performing maintenance on N. Bloodworth Street and Pace Street. Pace Street will be closed at N. Person Street and N. Bloodworth Street. 

The intersection will remain open for motorists traveling on N. Bloodworth Street. Motorists traveling on N. Person Street will use E. Franklin Street as a detour.

For your safety, and that of the crews working on this project, drive cautiously through the construction zone.

A section of the Turkey Creek Trail at Umstead State Park is closed for a bridge replacement project. During this time, access between Umstead State Park, the Crabtree Creek Trail and the parking lot located at 4924 Ebenezer Church Road, will remain open. Be advised that users will not be able to go north into Umstead State Park along the Turkey Creek Trail from the Crabtree Creek Trail. This project is being coordinated by North Carolina State Parks.

Do not use Ebenezer Church Road as access to the trail systems. Ebenezer Church Road is a busy vehicular road with a speed limit of 45 mph. For your safety, do not cross the construction barricades.
