GARNER – A section of Interstate 40 is scheduled to close nightly over the next week as work progresses on the Complete 540 project.
Weather permitting, all lanes of I-40 West will close at the N.C. 42 interchange (Exit 312) Sunday through Thursday nights, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. The closures will allow crews to safely continue demolishing one of the old flyover bridges connecting I-40 and U.S. 70.
During these times, westbound I-40 drivers will be directed to take N.C. 42 East to U.S. 70 West to return to I-40 West.
Drivers should factor this detour into their trips and be mindful of crews throughout the work zone.
