TEACHEY – U.S. 117 just north of the town of Teachey is scheduled to close beginning July 22 for drainage improvements.
Maintenance crews for the N.C. Department of Transportation will replace a crossline pipe underneath U.S. 117 at this location. The road is expected to reopen by the end of July.
Detour signs will send drivers onto Charity Road, Interstate 40, N.C. 11 and N.C. 41. Drivers should be mindful of the longer commute while using the detour, and to be cautious near the work site.
