WINSTON-SALEM – The contractor for the project to improve the pavement and bridges along Interstate 40 in Forsyth County has scheduled several closures over the next week.
Weather permitting, lane or ramp closures will take place between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. starting on the following days:
July 18-21: Two of three lanes of I-40 West from east of Peter's Creek Parkway (mile marker 192) to just west of Stratford Road (mile marker 189).
July 19-21: One of three lanes of I-40 East from west of Peter's Creek Parkway (mile marker 191) to just east of Peter's Creek Parkway (mile marker 192).
July 22: One of three lanes of I-40 West from east of Peter's Creek Parkway (mile marker 192) to just west of Peter's Creek Parkway (mile marker 191); and two of three lanes of I-40 East from just west of Stratford Road (mile marker 189) to just east of Peter's Creek Parkway (mile marker 192).
Also, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly from July 18-21, the ramp from Stratford Road onto I-40 West is scheduled to close so preservation work can be safely conducted on the bridge near the end of the ramp. A signed detour will follow N.C. 67 and U.S. 421/Salem Parkway back to the interstate.
Drivers should watch for signage indicating the lane reductions, slow down and be mindful of crews working near the travel lanes in these areas.
