POLLOCKSVILLE- Beginning early next week, the N.C. Department of Transportation will close a section of a Jones County road.
Plans are to close Ten Mile Fork Road starting at 6 p.m. June 24 and reopen it at 7 p.m. June 25. A contractor will pour the concrete deck for a bridge over the Pollocksville road.
Traffic will be detoured from Ten Mile Fork Road using Scott Road, Oak Grove Road and Killis Murphy Road/ Loop Road. Drivers should anticipate needing extra time for their commute and slow down when approaching the work zone.
This construction is part of a 16.3-mile project which starts south of Belgrade and ties into the U.S. 17 bypass around New Bern. The project costs about $143.4 million and is expected to be complete later this year.
