ENFIELD – A section of N.C. 48 in Halifax County will close next week while drainage improvements are made.
Contract crews for the state highway department will close the highway to through-traffic between Medoc Mountain Road to the north, and where Silvertown Road and Ringwood Road meet west of Enfield.
Crews will be replacing a pair of crossline pipes near each other under the highway. The closure will begin Monday morning, and, weather permitting, the work will be completed by July 11.
Detour signs will guide drivers to use Medoc Mountain and Ringwood roads; they should factor in the longer commute using the detour and be cautious near the work zone
