NCDOT suspends construction for holiday travel
(WWAY) — Drivers in North Carolina will get a reprieve from construction while they’re traveling for the holidays.
The NC Department of Transportation will suspend most construction activity on major highways to make travel easier during the upcoming holiday season.
Most work along interstates, U.S. and key state routes will be suspended starting Friday morning and will resume January 2.
The NCDOT says exceptions include bridges being replaced, long term lane construction that cannot be temporarily removed and highway work that does not impact travel. One such spot is Interstate 40 in Haywood County, where lane closures will stay in place for safety reasons.
