WINSTON-SALEM – Work on the Interstate 40 pavement and bridge improvements project in Forsyth County is scheduled to take place at several locations over the next week.
Weather permitting, the work will require lane or ramp closures between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. starting on the following days:
June 20: One of two lanes in each direction of Hanes Mall Boulevard will be closed near the I-40 interchange.
June 20-22: Two of three lanes of I-40 East from just west of Lewisville Clemmons Road (mile marker 184) to the bridge over Muddy Creek (mile marker 185).
June 21-24: One of two lanes of Westgate Center Drive beneath the I-40 bridges, and the ramp from Peters Creek Parkway onto I-40 West. A detour will have drivers take I-40 East to the U.S. 52 interchange to access I-40 West.
June 23-24: Two of three lanes of I-40 East from the U.S. 421/I-40 split (mile marker 188) to just east of Hanes Mall Boulevard (mile marker 190).
Drivers should be cautious as crews will be working near the flow of traffic in these areas and factor the detour into their commutes.
