RALEIGH – The N.C. Department of Transportation will close the ramp from westbound Interstate 40 to N.C. 54/Chapel Hill Road tonight at 9 p.m.
This closure, which is part of the project to widen both off ramps at exit 290 and rehabilitate the bridge over I-40, is necessary to install a pipe under the ramp. The work is weather dependent.
Traffic will be detoured to Wade Avenue, Edwards Mill Road and back to N.C. 54/Chapel Hill Road.
The ramp will reopen by 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, in time for the morning commute.
