CARRBORO, N.C. -- 203 Project July 2023 Community Update - The next concrete pour and interior construction to begin soon.
An early morning concrete pour is scheduled for next week. We will provide an update when the date of the concrete pour is confirmed. This should be smaller than the last pour. Please expect crews to begin work at 4 a.m. and be finished around 9 a.m. Concrete deliveries may utilize the northeast corner gate to access the site for this and future parking deck pours. We do not expect any traffic impacts on Maple and Roberson apart from trucks entering and exiting the site.
AT&T has started working around the site to relocate communication lines. During this process, they are closing the northbound lane on S. Greensboro St. as needed. Please expect intermittent delays on S. Greensboro St. while flaggers control traffic.
In other news, the temporary shoring and scaffolding on the building side are expected to be removed in the coming days, opening up the space and allowing for interior construction to begin in full. Construction remains on track to finish next summer.
Background

The facility will also provide a permanent home for the Orange County Skills Development Center; Carrboro Recreation, Parks and Cultural Resources Department; WCOM Radio; and performance/multipurpose uses.
