Fayetteville Road Closing Nightly for Eight Weeks

Improvements to the Fayetteville Road bridge over Interstate 40 are starting this week, which means the N.C. Department of Transportation is closing the road in both directions starting at 9 p.m. and ending at 5 a.m.

Over the next eight weeks, contractors are repairing the bridge’s joints, concrete surface, and deck railing.

Northbound traffic on Fayetteville Road, coming from The Streets at Southpoint, will detour on eastbound I-40 to the N.C. Highway 55 exit (278). Southbound traffic, coming from Woodcroft, will detour on westbound I-40 to the N.C. Highway 751 exit (274).

Delays are expected. Motorists are encouraged to stay alert and obey posted signs.
