Pipe Installation Closing Lenoir County Highway

Work expected to take two days

KINSTON – Drivers who use U.S. 258 south of Kinston will need to take a detour early next week to allow N.C. Department of Transportation crews to safely perform maintenance work.

Crews plan to close the section of the highway near Joe Nunn Road on April 4 and 5, weather permitting. NCDOT will replace a crossline pipe during the closure.

Drivers will be detoured onto Albrittons and Joe Nunn roads to access either side of U.S. 258. 

This detour will take drivers extra time to travel, so they should plan accordingly. NCDOT also encourages drivers to be cautious when near the closure.
