GARNER – Starting Sunday, contractors for the N.C. Department of Transportation plan to begin a series of overnight closures along a section of Interstate 40 for bridgework.
Each night Dec. 15-19, crews will close two lanes of I-40 West near U.S. 70 (Exit 309) at 9 p.m. followed by a full closure about 10 p.m. that is set to last until 5 the following mornings.
During the full closures, I-40 West traffic will be detoured to take U.S. 70 East (Exit 309) to N.C. 42 East (Exit 320) and back onto U.S. 70 West to return to I-40 West or access the Triangle Expressway.
The work and associated closures are weather dependent and subject to change.
