HAVELOCK – As construction on the Havelock Bypass continues, N.C. Department of Transportation crews need to conduct some temporary traffic pattern changes on U.S. 70.
Between Jan. 28 and Feb. 1 and then again Feb. 4-8, one lane in each direction of U.S. 70 will be closed east of Havelock. In addition, crews will shift traffic within the lane closure and use a portable concrete barrier to split traffic.
The closure will allow crews to install a pipe underneath the highway. To learn more about the Havelock Bypass project, visit this webpage.
While there will not be a detour during the lane closures, drivers are encouraged to slow down and remain alert throughout the work zone.
