GARNER, N.C. — There are several road closures across North Carolina on Friday you should be aware of.

Starting on Friday night, a sidewalk project will close a section of Vandora Springs Road in Garner, between Miriam Avenue and Timber Drive.

That road closure starts at 7 p.m. and runs through Sunday. Expect a detour along Old Stage and Woodland.

If crews don't finish the work this weekend, they may have to schedule another closure next weekend.

Also, in Wilson County, the North Carolina Department of Transportation is closing U.S.-301 near N.C. Highway 581 in the Lucama area this weekend.

The state is putting in some new safety features at the intersection. Expect a detour from 7 p.m. until Monday at 6 a.m.

Authorities said to use a detour at Simpson and Saint Mary's Church roads to get around the work.

There will be more closures in the coming weeks for that project.
