Short Detour Established for Freed

​CANTON – A contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation will close Freedom Drive beside Interstate 40 on Monday, Jan. 27 as part of a project to replace two bridges on I-40 over Beaverdam Road.

Crews from Zachry Construction will utilize the 120-day closure to install new drainage structures and improve other utilities on the western end of Freedom Drive.

Drivers will be directed to Newfound Road and Beaverdam Road while crews work on the frontage road. Local residents who live off Freedom will have complete access to their driveways.

This operation is part of a $33 million project to replace parallel bridges on I-40 that were built in 1961 and have reached the end of their service life.​​
