Weather delays have changed times for I-40 closures for the demolition of a private bridge between NC 801 and Harper Road in Forsyth County.

At 11 p.m., all eastbound traffic will exit at NC 801, follow the signed detour, and then re-enter at Harper Road. All lanes of I-40 Eastbound will be reopened to traffic by 6 a.m. Tuesday. This closure schedule will be repeated on Tuesday night, Aug. 14, into Wednesday morning.

• Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m., the contractor will close the left lane of I-40 Westbound as it approaches Harper Road. At 11 p.m., all westbound traffic will exit at Harper Road, follow the signed detour, and re-enter at NC 801. All lanes of I-40 Westbound will be reopened to traffic by 6 Friday morning.
