CARRBORO, N.C. -- The tower crane will be removed at the construction site of The 203 Project, requiring temporary closures of Roberson Street from west of Maple Avenue to S. Greensboro Street. 

Traffic impacts are as follows: 

• Wednesday, Jan. 17 – Roberson Street closed 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. 
• Thursday, Jan. 18 – Roberson Street closed 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 
• Friday, Jan. 19 – Roberson Street closed 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.  

The 130-foot tower crane has been a fixture in the downtown Carrboro landscape since December 2022. Its removal is a key moment in project construction, signaling that the main structure is fully installed, and the project has entered into its final phase towards completion. It’s an exciting project milestone! 

We thank you in advance for your patience with this traffic disruption as the project progresses.

Background 

The $42 million development will be the future home of the Orange County Southern Branch Library. 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.
