BENSON – The NC Department of Transportation has temporarily closed a section of Holly Grove Road, in the Meadow community, in southern Johnston County.
On Wednesday, a crossline drainage pipe failed, causing a portion of the rural roadway to collapse.
Holly Grove Road has been closed between Beasley Road and T Bar Road until repairs can be made.
Weather permitting, the NCDOT hopes repairs can be completed and the roadway reopened by January 2, 2024.
