DURHAM — Contractors for the N.C. Department of Transportation plan close lanes on Interstate 85 for bridge rehabilitation.
This Sunday, the left three left lanes of I-85 North at Exit 175 (N.C. 157/ Guess Road) will close. The closures will be in place each day from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting, and will continue through March 22.
During this time, the other three northbound lanes will remain open, but officials expect a high impact on traffic throughout the corridor.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes when traveling through the area. Motorists should also reduce speed and remain alert for construction crews and changing traffic patterns.
