WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced a traffic shift is happening for I-74 Thursday.
NCDOT said a contractor for them will implement a traffic shift on I-74 as part of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway Project starting at 9 a.m.
Flatiron Construction Corporation will shift traffic onto the permanent eastbound lanes of I-74 between Ridgewood Road and Union Cross Road.
The shift is necessary for the construction of the next section of a new bridge and travel lanes that will connect the beltway to the existing I-74 near Union Cross Road.
Nearby lanes on the interstate will be closed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. for the installation of new pavement markings and concrete barrier. The eastbound onramp from Ridgewood Road to I-74 will also be closed for a short time while traffic is being shifted to the new lanes.
A reduced speed limit will also be in place in the construction area during work hours.
