NCDOT maintenance crews are closing lanes of I-40 for three days next week to repair a bad storm drain in the median. Beginning next Tuesday, the left eastbound and westbound lanes of the interstate will be closed from 9 am to 4pm near mile marker 187. Only the eastbound shoulder of the route will remain closed overnight. Work is expected to be complete by Thursday, weather-permitting. I-40 East/West sign courtesy of The WInston Salem Journal
