Raleigh – An eastbound lane on Tryon Road near Brisk Gallop Way is closed due to emergency repairs for a broken sewer line. This closure is expected to disrupt back-to-school traffic, creating lane restrictions on a key commuter route used by many parents and students.
As a result of the lane closure, officials from the Wake County Public Schools have announced adjustments to some bus stop locations to accommodate affected students. City officials in Raleigh have stated that they are coordinating with school transportation staff to alert parents of these temporary changes, ensuring that families are informed about modifications to their child’s bus route.
Initially, only one lane was expected to be closed; however, further assessments indicated that the entire eastbound section of Tryon Road within the 4400 block, specifically at the intersection with Brisk Gallop Way, needs to be closed to complete the necessary repairs.
