ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Several road projects will make traveling around Asheville a little more difficult.

A portion of Patton Avenue and connecting streets in downtown Asheville will be closed the night of July 18 — 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. — because of the Carter-Ann-Patton stormwater project.

Patton Avenue will be closed from Grove Street to North Ann Street to allow crews to patch the roadway from the water main relocation.

The following street sections will be closed to through traffic (open only for business and resident access):

  • Carter Street from Patton Avenue to Haywood Street
  • North French Broad Avenue from Patton Avenue to Otis Street
  • South French Broad Avenue from Patton Avenue to Hilliard Avenue

Detour signs will be posted at Otis Street and Clingman Avenue.

Work can be impacted by weather, causing additional delays.

I-40 East closure

A short stretch of Interstate 40 will be closed this weekend, weather permitting, for work on a bridge between I-26 and Hendersonville Road.

Crews plan to close I-40 East from the I-240 East/I-26 West interchange (Exit 46B) to Hendersonville Road (Exit 50) from 8 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday to work on the eastbound bridge over Hominy Creek and Hominy Creek Road, a North Carolina Department of Transportation news release said.

According to the news release, the ramp from I-26 West to I-40 East will be closed with message boards alerting motorists to continue to I-240 East.
