Engineers from the North Carolina Department of Transportation said the section of Orange Grove Road between N.C. Highway 54 and Teer Road will be temporarily closed.

Weather permitting, crews will be working to repair a deteriorating pipe under the road.

They will start their work on February 29 and expect to be finished on March 9.

Local traffic will be able to access homes and businesses from either end of Orange Grove Road but will not be able to pass beyond the closure points on either side of the work area.

Motorists traveling through the area will use Dairyland Road, Dodson’s Crossroads and N.C. 54 as the signed detour route.
