A portion of a road in western Fayetteville will close next week for a highway interchange.
Part of Strickland Bridge Road that runs between Stoney Point Road and Century Circle will be removed to make way for Interstate 295, also known as the Fayetteville Outer Loop.
After this permanent closure takes effect on Sept. 4, people living on the residential streets of Weathergreen and Leland drives will have to turn right onto Strickland Bridge Road.
A new alignment of Strickland Bridge Road will be built that will span I-295, creating a new interchange with on/off ramps behind New Century International Middle School.

In July, the interchange at Camden Road outside Hope Mills partially opened to traffic, extending the Outer Loop southward to I-95 in northern Robeson County.
