​SALUDA - Weather permitting, N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews will close a lane on Interstate 26 East for several nights as part of the Green River Bridge Rehabilitation Project.
A continuous lane closure will be in place from 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24 until 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29, allowing crews to construct a barrier wall next to the left eastbound lane on the Green River Bridge, between mile markers 54 and 57.
Overweight and/or oversize tractor trailers will not be allowed to travel through the lane closure, as the maximum allowed width will be 12 feet. Truck traffic will be detoured​ from exit 54 (U.S. 25), continuing to I-85 North in Greenville, S.C., returning to I-26 East.
Transportation officials remind drivers to slow down, obey all posted signs and remain alert while driving in work zones.
