The NC Department of Transportation on Monday will close Howard Gap Road from Brookside Camp Road to Naples Road in Fletcher. The two-week closure is necessary to lower the existing grade of a section of Howard Gap Road that is approximately one-fifth mile north of Brookside Camp Road between the two intersections of Whispering Hills Drive.
The one-tenth mile segment will close at 7 a.m. and remain closed until Sunday, Sept. 21.
A signed detour will be in place advising motorists to take Brookside Camp Road to U.S. 25, and then Naples Road back to Howard Gap Road.
The work is part of a $9.3 million contract to widen Howard Gap Road from Jackson Road in Fletcher to just south of Brookside Road in Henderson County. Tennoca Construction Co. of Candler is the project contractor.
