Just after 7:30 a.m., authorities had to close both westbound lanes and the right eastbound lane at exit 319 for NC-210 due to a multi-vehicle crash.
Westbound lanes were reopened to drivers about an hour later, but the eastbound lane remained closed until about 9 a.m.
Details surrounding both accidents have not been released.
