A Raleigh road will have significant traffic pattern shifts beginning Monday, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
On Monday, work will start around the Blue Ridge Road and Hillsborough Street intersection to prepare for an upcoming closure at the junction. NCDOT said drivers should expect day and nighttime lane closures throughout the week.
On March 4 at 9 p.m., construction crews plan to close Hillsborough Street to begin construction that will result in Blue Ridge Road passing underneath Hillsborough Street, the railroad tracks and Beryl Road.
A new connector road that is being built on the northeast corner of the street will open for access between Hillsborough Street and Blue Ridge Road.
Traffic on Hillsborough Street can use either Edwards Mill Road, Wade Avenue, and Blue Ridge Road or Western Boulevard and Interstate 440 to access points on either side of closure.
NCDOT said drivers on the south end of Blue Ridge Road will continue to use Beryl Road to access Hillsborough Street, which is the same workaround that has been in place since October.
