Authorities have announced that two lanes of Interstate 40 will reopen by March 1, allowing for reduced-speed, two-way traffic through the area. While this marks a significant step forward in the project, officials emphasize that the roadway will remain an active construction zone, and drivers should proceed with caution.
Progress on the repairs has been made possible through the efforts of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and support from federal partners. Crews continue working to ensure safety and efficiency as the project moves forward.
Motorists are encouraged to stay alert, follow posted speed limits, and be mindful of workers in the area. Updates on the project’s status will be provided as work continues.
