GREENVILLE - A Pitt County interchange ramp will close beginning next week to be upgraded as part of the Southwest Bypass project.
Beginning at 9 a.m. Aug. 19, drivers traveling west from Greenville where Stantonsburg Road becomes U.S. 264 West will not be able to take the right exit ramp for U.S. 264 East toward Washington.
The ramp is expected to be closed until Aug. 30, weather permitting, to ensure the safety of the public and the contractor.
Until it reopens, traffic will be detoured through three exit loops at the interchange. Drivers will take a right just past the overpass and the two immediate right exit loops for U.S. 264 East.
Motorists should anticipate needing extra time for their commute and use caution when approaching the work zone.
