Lane of I-26 East at Peter Guice Bridge closed for construction next week

By Lightning Reports, Published: June 6, 2025

A contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation will close a short stretch of Interstate 26 East near the Green River bridge beginning Sunday night.

Starting at 7 p.m. on June 8, crews from Flatiron-Dragados Construction will close the outside lane of I-26 East to safely build shoulder berm gutter, pour concrete and pave a section near the Peter Guice Bridge over the Green River. The lane is scheduled to open by 6 a.m. Friday, June 13, to allow free-flowing traffic over the weekend. No daytime closures are permitted for the project on Fridays or weekends. 

This operation is part of a $27 million project to widen and rehabilitate the Green River bridge. Engineers anticipate completing construction late this fall.
