POLLOCKSVILLE – A Jones County road will close for a little more than a week while construction crews work on an overpass as part of the U.S. 17 Bypass project.
Goshen Road will be closed between 7 a.m. May 29 and 7 p.m. June 7. The contractor will work on the concrete slope protection for the overpass at Goshen Road in Pollocksville.
Traffic will be detoured onto N.C. 58, U.S. 17 and Pollock Street. Drivers should slow down when approaching the work zone and anticipate needing extra time as they travel through the area.
The overall project is 16.2 miles long, starting south of Belgrade, and tying into the existing U.S. 17 New Bern Bypass. The contract for the project is $143.4 and it is expected to be finished late this year.
