The schedule below was issued earlier this week.

The N.C. Department of Transportation will temporarily close two of three lanes of I-540 West between U.S. 64 Business and Buffalo Road beginning Thursday at 7 p.m. until 6 a.m., Friday.

Closures will resume that Friday at 7 p.m., until 6 a.m., Monday, weather permitting.
