The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced it will be proceeding with construction on the Military Cutoff Road extension project that will leave some roads closed for two weeks.

Torchwood Boulevard will be closed between Needlefish Court and Bow Hunter Drive from Mar. 14 through 28, according to a release from the NCDOT. Crews will be able to complete construction at the Torchwood Boulevard intersection.

A sign will be erected to detour traffic to Market Street (U.S. 17), Gordon and White roads. Motorists are advised to drive carefully in the work zone and plan commutes for the detour and traffic delays that may follow.
