A section of Ed Harris Road in Granville County will be closed beginning next week as a contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation replaces a bridge.
The bridge over Tabbs Creek, which was built in 1955, will close Nov. 4 for demolition and replacement, according to NCDOT spokesperson Kim Deaner.
The new structure, part of a $1 million project, will be wider and taller to better withstand future flooding. Construction is expected to take about eight months.
During the closure, drivers will detour onto Dorsey Road, N.C. 158, and Watkins Road to reconnect with Ed Harris Road.
Drivers should plan for longer commutes and use caution when traveling near the work zone.
