GARNER – N.C. Department of Transportation contractors are planning to close the loop from Interstate 40 West to U.S. 70 West (Exit 306A) this weekend as part of the widening project from Southeast Raleigh to Clayton.
The closure will begin at 9 p.m. Friday and is necessary to allow crews to tie in pavement to shift traffic onto the new exit loop, which is scheduled to open by 5 a.m. Monday.
A detour will send drivers up to Jones Sausage Road (Exit 303) to turn around and access U.S. 70 West toward Garner and the White Oak Crossing shopping center.
Drivers should allow extra time for the detour and pay extra attention while driving through the work zone.
