RALEIGH – Construction crews plan to close a section of Interstate 40 overnight as part of the project to improve the interstate between southeast Raleigh and Clayton.
The left two lanes of I-40 West are set to close between Jones Sausage Road and the I-440 junction beginning at 9 p.m., followed by a full closure of I-40 West at the junction from 10:30 until 5 a.m. Thursday. During this time, drivers will be detoured to follow I-440 West to Poole Road to access I-40 West.
The closures are needed for crews to safely conduct shoulder and lane paving along this stretch of I-40.
Drivers should be mindful of crews working close to the travel lanes in this area and factor the detour into their commute.
