West Market Street lane closures begin May 20 in downtown Greensboro

Greensboro transportation officials have announced lane closures on West Market Street beginning at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The city says the affected segment runs from Greene Street to Elm Street and is expected to remain under closure conditions through Friday, May 22.

According to the city update, the work is tied to crosswalk repairs at the West Market and Elm intersection as part of the Greene Street streetscape project. Motorists are being advised to expect delays and to use alternate routes around the downtown work area.

For commuters moving through the central Greensboro grid, this closure period may produce travel-time shifts during business hours while crews complete pavement and crossing work. Local deliveries and event traffic in the district may also need route adjustments.

The announcement is part of the city's broader May transportation update cycle, which has included recurring paving and lane-impact notices across the Triad core.
