Vance County Tourism officials remind folks of the temporary detour that will be in place along Satterwhite Road and Anderson Creek Road on Friday evening to accommodate fireworks traffic.

Traffic will be detoured temporarily for approximately 1.25 hours on Friday evening, July 3 between 9:15 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. from Satterwhite Point Road (SR 1319) onto Anderson Creek Rd. (SR 1374).

The detour will help reduce congestion and allow for timely clearing of vehicular traffic occurring immediately after the conclusion of the annual Independence Day Celebration and fireworks display at Satterwhite Point Park.

During the detour period, traffic traveling north/northwest on Satterwhite Point Rd (SR 1319) will be halted at the intersection of Anderson Creek Rd. (SR 1374). Traffic leaving the park headed south back toward Henderson will be detoured east onto Anderson Creek Rd (SR 1374) and then south onto Flemingtown Rd (SR 1371) to its intersection with I-85.

The closure/detour is coordinated and executed by the Vance County Sheriff’s Office and the NC Highway Patrol.
