Starting Monday, motorists who use Three Bridges Road in Halifax County will encounter a detour while maintenance work is done on the bridge near Quankey Creek south of Roanoke Rapids.
North Carolina State Department of Transportation employees need to perform maintenance on the wooden substructure of the 58-year-old bridge and the pavement around it.
The bridge is north of the intersection of Three Bridges Road and Highway 903.
The bridge is expected to reopened by June 29.
To avoid the closure, motorists should use Highway 903, Old Halifax Road, Highway 48 and Carolina Rest Home Road.
