August 24, 2026
WILKESBORO, NC – The Town of Wilkesboro will temporarily close approximately 800’ of greenway near River’s Edge Park, as well as the Moravian Creek Trailhead Parking Area & Access later this month. The affected greenway stretch runs from the Town’s Public Works yard (behind Red Roof Inn) to the western end of the Taracido Viaduct at Worldwide Protective Products. The decision was made for the safety of the public while the joint Wilkesboro/North Wilkesboro raw water intake project is under construction.
There is no set date for reopening this stretch of greenway but it will reopen as soon as possible after construction is complete. There are no official detours connecting the River’s Edge Park Greenway section to the Moravian Creek section. We ask that greenway enthusiasts please respect the closure barricades standing between them and the construction zone.
For additional information, please contact the Wilkesboro Public Works at (336) 838-0188.
