FOUR OAKS – A section of U.S. 301 on the outskirts of Four Oaks will close to through-traffic for about seven weeks to allow an N.C. Department of Transportation contract crew to replace a drainage pipe under the pavement.
The closure will affect both directions of U.S. 301 near Forest Hills Drive and occur between April 2 and May 21. A 3.7-mile detour will send drivers onto Keen and Boyette roads, past Four Oaks Middle School.
Drivers should be alert near the work zone and expect a longer commute using the detour.
