Hoke County widening project requires temporary closure; Closure set to begin April 13

By Staff Report, posted 3 months ago

 

The ongoing widening of N.C. 211 (Aberdeen Road) in Hoke County will require a cross street to close for about two months.

An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor plans to close Montrose Road at N.C. 211 beginning Monday. Workers need to reconstruct the intersection to the new grade for the highway, which is being widened to four lanes with a raised median.

The contractor plans to reopen Montrose Road in mid-June, weather permitting.

Drivers who will be detoured onto Calloway Road to bypass the closure should be mindful of the longer commute and be alert near the work site.
