I-26 East Lane Closure Coming to Green River Bridge
Scheduled for Sunday night through Thursday night
HENDERSONVILLE – A contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation will close a short stretch of Interstate 26 near the Green River bridge on Sunday night through Thursday night and repeat the closure again next week.
Crews from Flatiron-Dragados Construction will close the outside lane of I-26 East starting 7 p.m. Sunday night in order to safely build shoulder berm gutter, install new guardrail and pave a section near the Green River bridge.
The lane is scheduled to open by 7 a.m. on Friday morning to allow free-flowing traffic over the weekend. No daytime closures are permitted on Fridays or weekends. The operation will repeat starting Sunday, May 18.
This operation is part of a $27 million project to widen and rehabilitate the Green River bridge. Engineers anticipate completing all operations late this fall.
