GARNER – Overnight closures of Interstate 40 are scheduled for this week as work continues on the Complete 540 project.
Weather permitting, I-40 East is set to close at U.S. 70 East (Exit 309) from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights so crews can safely remove old bridge girders and columns over the interstate. I-40 East traffic will be detoured along U.S. 70 East and N.C. 42 West to return to the interstate.
Drivers should factor this detour into their trips and be mindful of the crews they encounter throughout the work zone.
