WHITSETT – N.C. Department of Transportation maintenance crews plan to close a lane of Interstate 40/85 on Thursday where a sinkhole appeared along the shoulder.
The left lane of eastbound I-40/85 will be closed between the Mt. Hope Church on-ramp and the Rock Creek Dairy Road exit ramp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. so crews can backfill the sinkhole.
Drivers are urged to slow down and be mindful of the safety of the maintenance workers while passing through the work zone.
