RALEIGH- Contractors for the N.C. Department of Transportation are installing a new drainage pipe as part of the U.S. 401 improvement project this week.
On July. 29 at 7 p.m., weather permitting, crews will close both directions of Ligon Mill Road at U.S. 401 and work until the project is finished, which could take up to several days.
Traffic will detour to Forestville Road and Burlington Mills Road.
Transportation officials advise drivers to plan for potential delays in the area, remind drivers to remain alert and obey all posted traffic signs in the work zone.
