| HILLSBOROUGH – Contractors for the N.C. Department of Transportation are set to close the exit ramp from Interstate 85 South to I-40 East (Exit 163) this week. Beginning the morning of Dec. 18, crews will close the ramp for asphalt paving. The off-ramp is scheduled to reopen by Dec. 20 at 7 p.m., weather permitting. A signed detour will be in place directing traffic to take Exit 161 (U.S. 70 East) and then take the ramp for I-40 East/I-85 North. Drivers should be mindful of crews working in the area and allow extra time to reach their destination. For real-time travel information, visit DriveNC.gov or follow NCDOT on social media. |
