Crews paving for the new road need to shut down a lane of the interstate until 3 p.m.

Like a closure Tuesday, the state Department of Transportation said the right lane will be closed from 4 a.m. to 3 p.m. between U.S. Highway 70 (Exit 306) and N.C. 42 (Exit 312).
Workers are building a connection with the Bypass as long as weather does not interfere, NCDOT said. Crews need room to pave connections to the Bypass.
The speed limit drops from 60 mph to 55 during construction closures, NCDOT said.
The Highway Patrol announced Monday that it is emphasizing compliance with speed limits and other regulations in construction zones.
