GRIFTON – A bridge on Gardnerville Road east of Grifton is scheduled to close at 8 a.m. Aug. 1 for reconstruction.
An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor will demolish the bridge, which spans Swift Creek and has reached the end of its service life, and construct a modern structure.
A marked detour will send drivers onto Lewis Haddock Road, Joe Gardner Road, Stokestown-Saint Jones Road and County Home Road. People should anticipate longer commutes and approach the work site cautiously.
The road is scheduled to reopen by the end of this year.
