Frequently Asked Questions

We have had conversations with the USPS Address Management Specialist in Raleigh. They have started making updates in their system to permanently link the old and new addresses, so there will be a buffer to ensure mail delivery well past Feb. 10. The preliminary changes in their system should start working no later than Feb. 1, according to the information we’ve been provided. We would recommend waiting until then to ensure there is no interruption in services.

No. The Town of Clayton and Johnston County have worked with the US Post Office to make this transition as seamless as possible for businesses and residents impacted by the change. However, please make sure to update your address with any vendors mailing you letters, bills or packages. If you have any mail delivery concerns, please reach out to your local post office.  

Please email info@townofclaytonnc.org. We will assist you with determining if your current address is affected by the road renaming.

Yes, the Town of Clayton, Johnston County, and NCDOT are coordinating with navigation app providers to update the road names. However, please note that these apps are managed by third-party companies, and it may take some time for the updates to be reflected.

No, NC-42 East, which runs past Clayton Fire Station 2, Glen Laurel Road, and through the Flowers Community, will not be renamed to Veterans Parkway. This portion of NC-42 will remain unchanged and is not affected by the road renaming.

A portion of NC-42 West is being redesignated as NC-36, but not all of it.  

The following roads will make up the new NC-36. See the map below for a visual representation.

• NC 42 between NC 50 and US 70
• US 70 between NC 42 and Ranch Road (Technically this stretch will be I-42/NC 36) 
• Ranch Road (once completed) between US 70 and US 70 Business
