HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — A contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation will close a short section of Interstate 26 East near the Green River bridge beginning Sunday night, June 8.
Crews with Flatiron-Dragados Construction will close the outside eastbound lane starting at 7 p.m. to install shoulder berm gutter, pour concrete and pave the area. The lane is expected to reopen by 6 a.m. Thursday, June 13, ahead of the weekend.
Daytime closures are not permitted on Fridays or weekends.
The work is part of a $27 million project to widen and rehabilitate the Green River bridge. NCDOT officials said construction is expected to be completed later this fall.
