STATESVILLE– Starting Sunday night, N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews be closing the E. Broad Street loop ramp to Interstate 77 North in Statesville as part of the I-40/I-77 interchange improvement project.
The closure will be implemented at 7 p.m. Sunday so workers can build and tie in the new loop. Construction is anticipated to take up to eight weeks. A detour will be in place for drivers from I-77 South to U.S. 70 (exit 49A) back to I-77 North.
Drivers should remain alert, reduce speed and use caution in this work area.
