CLAYTON – Contractors with the N.C. Department of Transportation/N.C Turnpike Authority will
close two ramps at the Interstate 40/Triangle Expressway/I-42 (U.S. 70) turbine-style interchange this week to conduct bridge work.
The closures will take place overnight, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on March 27 and March 28, weather permitting.
Drivers wanting to access I-40 West or I-42 East from the Triangle Expressway (Toll N.C. 540) will be detoured starting at 10 p.m. to take I-40 East and N.C. 42 (Exit 312) to access I-40 West. The same detour will apply starting at midnight for drivers traveling on I-42 West (U.S. 70) who want to access I-40 West.
Drivers should factor the detour into their trips and be mindful of crews working in the area.
