Construction along N.C. 209 — locally called Crabtree Road — near its exchange with U.S. 74 will cause the state road to close for three consecutive weekends between Old Clyde Road and Carley Road as a new sewer line is installed there. 

The closures will be from 7 p.m. Nov. 7 to 7 a.m. Nov 10; 7 p.m. Nov. 14 to 7 a.m. Nov. 17 and 7 p.m. Nov. 21 to 7 a.m. Nov. 24. Signs will direct traffic along the detour from N.C. 209 to U.S. 74 to Interstate 40 West and then back onto N.C. 209 via Exit 24. 

Detour signage will be in place directing traffic from N.C. 209 to take U.S. 74 to Interstate 40 west, and then to Exit 24 on I-40 West. Traffic will then return to N.C. 209.

The $18.9 million project aims to improve safety and traffic flow along N.C. 209 and its interchange with U.S. 74. Construction began in late July, and all work save reforestation should be complete by August 2017.
