Raleigh Water Sewer Maintenance crews are currently making emergency repairs on the sewer collection system at the 700 block of Powell Drive.

Powell Drive will be closed from Melbourne Road to Linville Drive. 

DETOUR: 

Traffic traveling down Powell Drive from Western Boulevard will be required to turn right onto Linville Drive, then left onto Grove Avenue, which turns back into Melbourne Road.

Traffic traveling from the Melbourne Road direction will not be allowed to turn onto Powell Drive. Instead, drivers will continue down Melbourne Road, turn right onto Linville Drive, then turn left back onto Powell Drive.

Work should be completed by 3 pm today, and there should be no interruptions.

Plan ahead if traveling on S. Blount Street in downtown Raleigh. City of Raleigh crews will close one southbound lane, causing possible delays.

The southbound lane will be closed between E. Lenoir Street and E. Cabarrus Street. Drivers should expect delays, use alternate routes when possible and use caution in the work zone.

The Complete 540 project will extend the Triangle Expressway from the N.C. 55 Bypass in Apex to Interstate 87/U.S. 64/U.S. 264 in Knightdale, joining the outer 540 loop around the greater Raleigh area. Construction of this project will require periodic stoppages of trail traffic, between Auburn Knightdale Rd and Battle Bridge Rd, to allow construction equipment and vehicles to cross the trail.

Temporary closures will periodically be in place as construction advances. During trail closures, a temporary detour trail will be in place adjacent to the existing Neuse River Trail, allowing trail users to pass through this corridor during the entire construction process.
