RALEIGH — Drivers can expect to encounter a detour on Poole Road near Knightdale because of utility work for the next three days.
The N.C. Department of Transportation plans to close the road at 9 a.m. today between Tilton Woods Trail and Hodge Road to allow crews to safely replace a crossline pipe.
The detour will use Hodge Road, Interstate 87, and New Hope Road to get around the closure.
Weather permitting, Poole Road is scheduled reopen by 5 p.m. Thursday.
Drivers should allow extra time for the detour and pay extra attention while driving near the work zone.
