WINSTON-SALEM – N.C. Department of Transportation contractors will be closing lanes on Interstate 40 Business to install overhead signs and conduct bridge and road work.
The inside lanes of the Business 40 will be closed in both directions between Hastings Hill Road and South Main Street as preparation continues for tying in a section of the future Winston-Salem Northern Beltway.
Construction will only be overnight, beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, July 26, and lasting until 11 a.m. Saturday. Work will resume at 8 p.m. Saturday and end at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Crews will repeat the same construction schedule the following weekend, Aug. 2-4.
N.C. 66, Interstate 40 and U.S. 52 can be used as alternative routes to avoid eastbound Business 40 during the closure.
Drivers should slow down and be cautious throughout the work zone and be advised that the reduction to one lane in each direction of Business 40 may cause delays.
