January 30-February 2, 2026 - Winter Storm and its Effect on Traceway

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued watches for Winter Storm and Extreme Cold. Measurable snow is expected for all of Central NC, and the models are being watched to determine amounts. Please watch weather forecasts and check before heading out.

Note that POA roads are the responsibility of each POA, check with your Board for more information.

CTA's contractor will plow Traceway Saturday morning, and later in the day if needed.

Hill closing on the Southside: Although Traceway will be treated and plowed by CTA's contractor, the steep hill between Eagles Nest and Lakewood POA entrances may be closed to traffic if the snow accumulation makes that area unsafe for travel. Southside residents and their visitors may access the community through the Cox Mill Road gate. Those entering CT through the NC-87 (main) gate will be advised if the road is closed and maps will be distributed to those needing directions to the Cox Mill Road gate.

Residents using the Gate Sentry app will also receive updates on the condition of Traceway and the gates via the Gate Sentry messenger function.

January 23, 2026 - Weekend Winter Storm and Its Effect on Traceway

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Lee County (see below).

CTA has contractors who are responsible for treating Traceway. Travel conditions for Traceway and the three entrances to the community will be updated via Gate Sentry. Please note that your POA's roads are your POA's responsibility.

Hill closing on the Southside: With regard to Traceway South, please realize there is a high probability that the hill between the Eagles Nest and Lakewood POA entrances on the south side may be closed at some point. If travel is unavoidable late Saturday or Sunday, south side residents are advised to use the Cox Mill Road gate and avoid the main entrance/exit at NC-87.
