WAXHAW – The next phase of building a roundabout at the intersection of Providence Road South and N.C. 200 south of Waxhaw will start next Monday.
Providence Road South has been closed since May 30 when a contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation started the construction.
This next phase requires closing N.C. 200 on Monday, Aug. 13, for approximately three weeks during which drivers will utilize a marked detour.
Motorists traveling south on Providence Road South will continue using the existing detour along Brady Road, Potter Road and Harkey Road. Northbound traffic will follow the detour in reverse.
Motorists traveling south on N.C. 200 will be detoured along Potter Road, Harkey Road, Providence Road South, Bud Huey Road and Simpson Road. Northbound traffic will reverse the detour.
A separate detour will be posted for trucks from N.C. 200 to N.C. 522 and Shiloh Unity Road, returning to N.C. 200.
