KNIGHTDALE– Contractors for the N.C. Department of Transportation/ N.C. Turnpike Authority will implement temporary lane closures along Interstate 87 at I-540 for two nights, weather permitting.
A single left lane closure will be installed each night between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Work will occur on northbound I-87 tonight and southbound I-87 the following night.
Crews will be installing concrete barriers and crash cushions along the median of I-87 as part of the second phase of the Complete 540 project, which will extend the Triangle Expressway (Toll N.C. 540) from I-40 to I-87.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution when approaching the work zone, adhere to posted speed limits, and allow additional time to reach their destinations safely.
