RALEIGH -- Repaving work on the southern Beltline this weekend will close lanes and send some Interstate 40 drivers on a detour.
The state Department of Transportation will close the exit ramp from westbound I-40 to the eastbound I-440 Outer Beltline until 5 a.m. Monday.
A marked detour will send drivers west to the Rock Quarry Road exit, where they will be directed to loop back onto the eastbound lanes of the Outer Beltline. Also this weekend, the Outer Beltline will be reduced to one lane from Rock Quarry to Poole Road.
A separate paving project on the northern Beltline will close some lanes on Sunday between Wade Avenue and Wake Forest Road, so road crews can apply permanent stripes to the pavement.
The stripe work will affect traffic between 9 a.m. Sunday and 6 a.m. Monday. The 5.6-mile repaving project that began in June is almost complete.
