The lanes will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. on Monday.

In addition to those closures, the I-40 West exit ramp to I-440 West (the Outer Beltline) and the I-440 West exit ramp to Poole Road will be closed periodically throughout the weekend.

The closures are part of a project to resurface I-440, officials said.

Motorists traveling I-40 West who need to access I-440 West should detour by taking exit 300A (Rock Quarry Road) and then return to I-40 East/I-440.

Motorists traveling on I-440 West needing to access Poole Road should exit at 13A (New Bern Avenue) and return to I-440 (the Inner Beltline) at exit 15 (Poole Road).

Both detours will be noted with signs.

On Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., crews will be refreshing the pavement markings on the I-440 East between the interchanges with U.S. 64 and Poole Road.
