DURHAM — N.C. Department of Transportation contractors plan to close the southbound lanes of Alston Avenue (N.C. 55 East) from Taylor Street to Hopkins Street for two weeks to perform sewer work as part of the project to widen Alston Avenue in Durham.
The closure will begin at 8 a.m. July 14. A detour will follow Liberty, Elizabeth, and Main streets. Local property access will be maintained throughout the closure and northbound Alston Avenue (N.C. 55 West) will remain open.
Drivers should allow extra time to navigate the detour and pay extra attention while driving near the work zone.
