VANCEBORO – N.C. Department of Transportation will temporarily close a portion of Business 17 in both directions in Craven County next week.
The section of the road, near Old Washington Road, is expected to be closed Aug. 23 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The closure will allow a contractor to safely service a railroad crossing.
Traffic will be redirected onto the U.S. 17 Bypass during construction.
Drivers should plan accordingly for delays and be on the lookout for detour signs.
