A section of Long Drive in Rockingham will be closed next week to allow N.C. Department of Transportation crews to repair a pipe under the roadway, according to officials at NCDOT.
The closure, located between U.S. 74 Business and Mill Road, will be in effect from 7 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 24, until 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept, 28, weather permitting.
A 2.8-mile signed detour will be in place. Motorists will be directed to use Mill Road, Biltmore Drive and U.S. 74 Business to get around the closure.
