RALEIGH – N.C. Department of Transportation contractors are planning to close the flyover bridge from Interstate 440 East to I-40 East (Exit 16) this weekend as part of the widening project from Southeast Raleigh to Clayton.
The closure will begin at 9 p.m. Friday and is necessary to allow crews to shift traffic onto the new flyover bridge, which is scheduled to open by 5 a.m. Monday.
A detour will lead drivers onto I-40 West to Exit 298A (South Saunders Street) to take U.S. 401 South and U.S. 70 East through Garner to access I-40 East.
Drivers should allow extra time for the detour and pay extra attention while driving through the work zone.
