NCDOT Sets Date For Business 40 Closure

The North Carolina Department of Transportation has announced a date for the planned shutdown of Business 40 in Winston-Salem.

According to a department statement, the 1.2 mile section of Business 40 between Peters Creek Parkway and U.S. 52 will close on Sunday, November 11th at 8 a.m. for extended reconstruction. 

A number of downtown bridges will also be closed and replaced. 

Beginning on that date, all Business 40 traffic will be diverted to I-40, Peters Creek Parkway and U.S. 52. 

Even though the reconstruction of Business 40 is slated to last up to two years, efforts are underway to reopen the road in early 2020.
