ASHEBORO – A project to straight out a
hazardous curve on N.C. 42 will require a two-week closure in southeastern
Randolph County, starting Wednesday, March 14.
The N.C. Department of Transportation needs to close N.C. 42 in
both directions at Moffitt Mill Road near the Coleridge community to allow
contract crews to safely tie the new construction to the existing portion. The
realignment will make N.C. 42 safer for traffic.
The mile-long detour will send motorists onto Moffitt Mill and Erect
roads. The highway is scheduled to reopen March 28.
