WINSTON-SALEM – Drivers are urged to be prepared as a new exit loop off U.S. 421 in Forsyth County opens under a temporary configuration.
N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews will open the new loop from U.S. 421 South onto Peace Haven Road at 10 p.m. on Friday, June 14.
People who take the new exit loop need to pay extra attention because there will be a shortened exit lane with the temporary alignment, meaning drivers will have less time to make the decision to get in position to take the exit.
With the new loop opening, the contractor can begin construction along Peace Haven Road that will allow traffic to move onto the new bridge.
This work is part of a larger project to improve the interchange in preparation for construction of the future Winston-Salem Northern Beltway interchange with U.S. 421, just west of Peace Haven Road.
