Where it is

Bridgeberry is about 4.4 miles by road southwest of downtown. Rex Road Elementary, 6125 Rex Road, is about 0.4 mile from the place OpenStreetMap marks. The town’s Land Use and Character Plan treats land near the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant’s reservoir, to the west, as land to preserve, discouraging most development inside “the high lake level and buffer area (260 feet).”

Town or county? We found 353 residential addresses within about a third of a mile. On the Census Bureau’s TIGERweb map, 345 were inside town limits and eight, including homes on People Road, were in unincorporated Wake County. See our property tax guide.

What is changing: the town plans to widen Avent Ferry Road between Ralph Stephens Road and Cass Holt Road to four lanes with a median and sidewalks on both sides. Design is in progress, right-of-way buying is expected to start in 2027 and construction in 2029.
