Delay in West Branch detour

aShortChronicle previously reported about the 3-month detour as the West Branch neighborhood development rebuilds Robert Walker Drive between Davidson-Concord Rd and the Baily Springs neighborhood.

That detour was supposed to start this coming Monday, but has now been pushed back a week to September 25th.

Christina Shaul with the Town also wanted to pass along this additional information about the detour as it relates to pedestrian use.

"The developer is planning to build a temporary access point on the southern corner to allow pedestrians to get to the sidewalk they just built.  It will be built out of gravel until they complete the bypass storm pipe and road, then they can install the permanent concrete."

So, greenway users in River Run, Bradford, and elsewhere to the east get a bit of a reprieve this fall before having to use the "Big Sidewalk" along Davidson-Concord Rd.
