The section of Cary Parkway between Lake Pine and Tarbert drives which was damaged during Sunday's water line break will remain closed through at least Wednesday night. While Cary officials moved swiftly to get crews and contractors on the scene to address the roadway problems, the amount of damage is too extensive to be corrected easily. Weather permitting, some travel through the affected portion of Cary Parkway may be possible by the end of this week.
Current plans call for the eastbound lanes to be fixed first.
Once those repairs have been made, Cary officials will run two-way traffic on that side of the Parkway while they are fixing the westbound lanes. In general, motorists are encouraged to avoid the area until clear travel can be assured by local authorities. With water levels in Cary's above-ground storage tanks having now returned to normal, Cary officials hope to announce sometime on Tuesday the lifting of their mandatory order prohibiting all outdoor water use. Until that announcement is made, all customers should refrain from any outdoor water use, including those customers having irrigation meters that were switched off by Town officials yesterday. Those customers who lost water pressure during Sunday's event are encouraged to continue boiling drinking water for five minutes before consuming through Wednesday when Town tests on the water supply will be complete.
