Attention Knightdale commuters: prepare for a detour. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has announced a temporary road closure that will impact Hodge Road traffic. The closure, set to facilitate railroad crossing improvements by Carolina Coastal Railroad and paving repairs by NCDOT contractors, starts at noon today and is anticipated to last until 5 p.m on Friday, weather permitting.
Drivers, especially those accustomed to the convenience, must reroute as Hodge Road will be inaccessible at Mingo Creek during this period. The forecast detour will thread vehicles along Interstate 87, I-540, and Knightdale Boulevard. As motorists adjust to the temporary directions, they are encouraged to account for potential delays in their transit plans.
In a display of forethought, residents and commuters are advised by NCDOT to "plan ahead, follow posted detour signs, and expect some delays while travelling through the area."
