DUDLEY -- Motorists are being reminded that O'Berry Road at U.S. 117 South is closed in both directions beginning this morning.

The road could be closed for up to a year as work crews continue construction of an overpass to take the road over U.S. 117 South.

The closure will not affect traffic on U.S. 117 going through the intersection.

Once closed, motorists on U.S. 117 should follow detour signs to reach O'Berry Road.

Southbound U.S. 117 traffic will exit at N.C. 55, and northbound will turn left onto U.S. 13.

Motorists on O'Berry Road will be sent onto U.S. 117 Alt. or Durham Lake Road, depending on which side of the highway they are traveling.
