SAXAPAHAW – N.C. Department of Transportation maintenance
crews will close a portion of East Greensboro Chapel Hill Road while they
replace a 72-inch pipe with an 84-inch corrugated metal pipe that crosses
underneath the roadway just south west of Saxapahaw.
“The larger pipe is
needed to help improve drainage in the area,” said NCDOT Bridge Maintenance
Supervisor Ken Groce.
Crews will close the road at 6 a.m. on Monday, May
7. Weather permitting; it will reopen at 5 p.m. on Friday, May
18.
Drivers will be able to detour using Holman Mill Road and Snow Camp
Road around the closure.
Transportation officials advise drivers to watch
signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed
limit.
