Eastern North Carolina roadway to have speed limit reduced
MARTIN & WASHINGTON COUNTIES, N.C. (WITN) – A part of one Jap North Carolina roadway will see its pace restrict drop 20 miles per hour subsequent week.
The North Carolina Division of Transportation says they’re briefly decreasing the pace restrict on the eastbound Welch’s Creek Bridge on U.S. 64 on the Martin/Washington County Line beginning on Tuesday Could 31.
The pace restrict will drop from 55 mph to 35 mph.
NCDOT says the brand new pace restrict will assist stop load limits from being positioned on the bridge, which can bear crucial repairs later this yr.
We’re informed that after the roadwork begins, eastbound visitors will transfer to 1 lane of the westbound bridge, and the pace restrict might be raised again to 55 mph when the work is completed.
