Beginning October 6, 2025, part of Segment 11 between Auburn Knightdale Rd. and Brownfield Rd. (EB Miles 22.8-24.8; WB Miles 41.4-43.3) will be closed for construction of an extension to I-540. The closure is expected to last through February 2028. We have not been able to determine whether any roads will be closed as well. The following detour assumes roads will remain open; if we find that roads are closed, we will attempt to update the detour route accordingly.
