ZEBULON – Contractors for a new development in Zebulon plan to close the westbound U.S. 264 ramps at the N.C. 96 (North Arendell Avenue) interchange in Zebulon for multiple nights to add a lane to the off ramp.
Weather permitting, crews will close both ramps starting each night Sunday through Wednesday, with each ramp reopening by 6 a.m. the following morning.
Traffic wanting to exit at N.C. 96 (Exit 435) from U.S. 264 will need to continue westbound and exit at Lizard Lick, then follow U.S. 264 East back to N.C. 96.
Drivers trying to get onto U.S. 264 West from N.C. 96 will be detoured to take U.S. 264 East to N.C. 97/Gannon Avenue (Exit 2) to access U.S. 264 West.
Motorists are encouraged to pay attention when approaching the work zone, obey the posted speed limit, and allow extra time to reach their destinations safely.
