BISCOE – The Aberdeen Carolina &
Western Railway Co. has informed the N.C. Department of Transportation it must
close a busy intersection in downtown Biscoe early next month to improve its
rail crossing.
The company plans to close its crossing over West Main Street (N.C.
24/27), adjacent to the road’s intersection with North and South Main streets,
which are also U.S. 220 Alternate.
The closure is scheduled to start Tuesday, May 1, and, weather
permitting, the roadway will reopen by Friday of that week.
The signed detour will depend on which direction traffic is
traveling:
- Motorists headed west on N.C. 24/27 will need to go north on U.S.
220 Alternate, turn left on Airport Road, left onto Clayola Drive, and left onto
Lambert Drive to get back onto N.C. 24/27.
- Eastbound traffic will turn right onto Mill Street, then left onto
South Main Street (U.S. 220 Alternate) and right on East Main Street (N.C.
24/27).
