Memorial Drive between Main Street and Poplar Street will be resurfaced beginning Sunday, Aug. 23, with work scheduled to continue through Friday, Sept. 4.
Work will take place during nighttime hours, from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., beginning at Main Street and progressing along Memorial Drive. Both eastbound and westbound lanes will be resurfaced.
Riverfront Park will remain accessible throughout the project. However, visitors should expect possible delays during evening hours, particularly when crews are working near the park entrances. The gravel parking lot also will be available as an alternative parking option, although access may be affected periodically as work progresses.
Access to the Dan River Falls complex also will be maintained, with possible delays when crews are working directly in front of its entrances.
Motorists should expect intermittent lane closures and detours along Memorial Drive. Some side streets will also be closed periodically. Police officers and a traffic control company will assist with traffic management throughout the project.
Drivers and park visitors are encouraged to use caution in the work zone, allow extra travel time and follow posted detours and traffic directions.
The schedule is weather dependent and may be adjusted if necessary.
