MOORESVILLE – An Iredell County road will close while an N.C. Department of Transportation contractor continues a road widening project.
West Wilson Avenue will close between U.S. 21 and the entrance to Country Club Apartments beginning Sept. 15. This closure will only impact West Wilson Avenue. U.S. 21 and Brawley School Road will remain open.
The closure, which could remain in place for up to 180 days, will allow crews to widen the road, install a multi-use path and improve traffic flow at the West Wilson Avenue and U.S. 21 intersection.
A signed detour will guide drivers around the closure using West Wilson Avenue, South Main Street, West McLelland Avenue, N.C. 150 and U.S. 21.
The work is part of a $34.8 million project widening Brawley School Road to a four-lane divided road between Interstate 77 and U.S. 21. The project also will see U-turn bulbs installed, intersections signalized and bike lanes and sidewalks installed.
Construction for the entire project is expected to finish in early 2029.
