Canton -- November 8, 2026: Drivers traveling Interstate 40 near Incinerator Road should prepare for inside-lane closures from 7 p.m. Monday, November 9, through noon Friday, November 13, 2026, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
Crews will upgrade drainage structures in the highway median to reduce standing water and the risk of icy roadway conditions this winter. The announced closures are scheduled during the workweek, rather than the weekend.
Motorists should allow extra travel time and check current conditions before departing. NCDOT has not announced a designated detour or estimated the severity of delays associated with this work. Drivers can visit DriveNC.gov for updated traffic information.
