A series of temporary ramp closures will begin in June around the Cumberland-Robeson county border.
The following ramps will be affected:
- I-95 North exit ramp onto U.S. 301/I-95 Business, heading north, will be closed June 4 to June 11. The detour will be to drive past the closed ramp and take Exit 41 onto Chicken Foot Road.
- I-95 Business South ramp to I-95 South will be closed June 11 June 18. The detour will send drivers further south on U.S. 301 to Exit 33 near St. Pauls to access I-95.)
