Road Construction Halted to aid in Holiday Travel

The N.C. Department of Transportation has temporarily postponed most construction activity along major highways to keep traffic flowing for holiday travel. Construction along interstates, U.S. and key N.C. routes is suspended through the evening of Nov. 28 to reduce anticipated congestion. Some projects will continue with work that doesn’t impact travel lanes, and other long-term lane closures will remain in place on select projects such as bridge replacements on Interstate 40 in Haywood County.
