A portion of I-40/I-85 will be closed in Orange County for maintenance work.

Officials with the state Department of Transportation say crews will be working to repair damaged shoulder and slope drains. That work will involve closing the right lane on I-40 East/I-85 North near Orange Grove Road.

The repairs will consist of replacing pipes and backfilling the shoulder of the thoroughfare.

The closure will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday and is only scheduled to take place during the daytime with closures scheduled from nine o’clock in the morning until four o’clock in the afternoon.
