Residents of west Charlotte should plan for a minor detour in their commutes as maintenance crews from the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) are set to embark on a pipe replacement project. Starting tomorrow morning, the construction will impact Pine Cape Drive, which will be closed just west of its intersection with Harbor Drive. The maintenance work is expected to be wrapped up by the end of this week, according to a statement by the NCDOT.
Specifically, the closure will begin at 6 a.m. Wednesday and is scheduled to continue until 5 p.m. Friday. The NCDOT assures that access to homes along this stretch will be maintained throughout the project's duration. For those looking for an alternative route, drivers can utilize Cold Harbor Drive to navigate around the road closure.
Commuters are advised to remain vigilant and expect possible delays when traveling through the area. Safety measures will be in place, but as with any construction zone, caution is imperative. The NCDOT recommends that drivers should allow for extra travel time and to plan their routes accordingly over the next few days.
For those seeking the most up-to-date travel information, resources are available at DriveNC.gov, and updates will be posted on the NCDOT's social media channels. The department encourages drivers to keep an eye on these platforms to stay informed about traffic conditions and any changes to the construction schedule.
