The state will temporarily suspend most highway construction projects that cause lane closures to help reduce the anticipated increased traffic over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
NCDOT will keep lanes open where possible on major routes from the evening of July 2 until the morning of July 7. There are some locations, however, where the type of construction or the status of the project requires lane closures to remain in place for safety reasons.
Drivers can check the status of the route they plan to take in advance by going to DriveNC.gov.
