HIGH POINT – Drivers should watch for a ramp closure scheduled to take place overnight on Interstate 74 on the north side of High Point.
N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews plan to close the ramp from westbound I-74 to N.C. 68 starting at 10 p.m. Thursday to install new drainage pipe under the ramp. The ramp is expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Friday if weather cooperates.
A signed detour will be in place during the closure, sending traffic up to exit 66/Johnson Street, across the bridge and back onto the interstate to return to N.C. 68.
Drivers should be cautious near the work zone and allow for extra travel time because of the detour.
