Morrisville Town engineer gives Town Center construction update; library access and road closures detailed

Mark Spanioli, Morrisville Town director of engineering, gave an on-site update in June 2026 on progress at the Town Center construction site, describing ongoing electrical, drainage and site-work and outlining temporary road closures and alternate parking for library users.

The update matters because the work affects traffic flow and access to the public library adjacent to the Town Hall property; Spanioli said the library remains open throughout construction and described specific detours and a temporary parking lot to reduce disruption.

Spanioli said crews are working on "the primary electrical feeds for the Town Center project," which will tie into an existing transformer and provide power to the site. He told listeners the electrical work "is going to be working on that over the next few days." Spanioli delivered the update on-site from the future parking lot next to Town Hall and pointed out the location of the planned town green, saying, "this is where the town green will be… the new town green, which is an elliptical shape, will be in this area."

He described environmental precautions and stormwater work: "We've got temporary soil erosion control measures that have been installed to prevent runoff from the site onto adjacent sites," and noted there are stacked elliptical pipes "for some continued infrastructure, underground drainage work that's going to be installed."

On access, Spanioli said the library will remain open throughout construction and warned of temporary road closures. He stated, "Carolina Street's closed from Town Hall Drive to Fox Drive," and explained detour options and parking alternatives for library patrons: if the main parking lot is full, people can use a temporary parking lot accessed "from Town Hall Drive. You go down Jeremiah Street, come up TH Street, and then come back around to the parking lot." The transcript records the street label "TH Street" as spoken; the full street name was not specified in the on-site remarks.

Spanioli said workers were visible at the site and that work would continue in the coming days; he closed by thanking listeners and saying he was "looking forward to another update." The town did not announce a specific completion date or a schedule of future public updates during this on-site briefing.

Next steps: crews will continue electrical and drainage work in the near term; the town indicated it will provide additional updates but did not give a specific follow-up date in the on-site remarks.
