Intermittent Lane Closures Begin Sunday on U.S. 74

The N.C. Department of Transportation will close one lane in each direction on U.S. 74, between the Isabel Holmes Bridge and the intersection at U.S. 17/U.S. 421 from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. nightly, starting Sunday, April 24th and ending Sunday, May 8th.

The closures will allow NCDOT crews to perform milling and resurfacing work, weather permitting.

The existing pavement is in need of repair and rehabilitation.  The milling operation will remove the existing pavement which is damaged and deteriorated and replace it with new pavement.  Once completed, this will improve the ride ability and increase visibility with new traffic markings on the roadway.

There will not be any detours; however, motorists are advised to use caution while traveling in the area and to expect possible delays.  NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.
