The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes improvements to Poole Road from west of Barwell to Hodge roads in Wake County.
The proposed improvements would expand Poole Road from two lanes to four lanes and include a center median to separate traffic traveling in opposite directions. The proposed improvements would also reduce future traffic congestion, improve roadway operations and support future commercial development.
A public meeting is scheduled for:
Monday, Sept. 28, 2026
5-7 p.m.
Barwell Road Community Center
5857 Barwell Park Drive
