Section Of Interstate 40 In Iredell County Closed Through Weekend

October 22, 2021 By Richard C. Gilbert

A section of Interstate 40 in Iredell County will be closed this weekend as road crews make repairs to a bridge.

A large section of a bridge on I-40 just west of Statesville fell away this morning.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation says the westbound lanes will be closed at Exit 144 until noon on Monday,

To detour, drivers will have to take Exit 144 and turn left onto Old Mountain Road, continue for a mile and then turn right onto US-70 West. Then take that highway for four miles before turning right onto Sharon School Road and taking that road for almost two miles before reaching the on-ramp to get back on I-40 westbound.
