POLLOCKSVILLE - A Jones County road will close for about 24 hours next week as construction crews continue work to tie into the existing U.S. 17 Bypass.
Ten Mile Fork Road, near U.S. 17, will close between 6 p.m. May 28 and 7 p.m. May 29. The contractor will pour the concrete deck for the bridge over the Pollocksville road.
Traffic will be detoured onto Scott Road, Oak Grove Road, Killis Murphy Road/ Loop Road and U.S. 17. Drivers should anticipate needing extra time for their commute and need to use caution when approaching the work zone.
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.
