As students return to school Monday, August 24, families traveling on NC 210 near the future J.H. Lea Elementary and Middle Schools campus should allow additional travel time because of ongoing roadway and drainage work.
Crews are expected to work along the roadway from approximately 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The current phase has been planned primarily along the shoulders, but drivers may encounter construction equipment, workers and brief delays near the project area.
Later phases will require daytime lane closures, along with a weekend pipe-crossing project. Those dates have not been finalized. Pender County Schools will share additional information as details are confirmed.
Please slow down, remain alert and use extra caution when traveling through the work zone.
AVISO DE TRÁNSITO | NC 210
Con el regreso de los estudiantes a clases el lunes 24 de agosto, se recomienda a las familias que transiten por la NC 210, cerca del futuro campus de las escuelas primaria e intermedia J.H. Lea, tomar tiempo adicional debido a los trabajos viales y de drenaje que se realizan en el área.
Se espera que las cuadrillas trabajen cerca de la carretera aproximadamente de 7 a.m. a 5 p.m., de lunes a viernes. La fase actual está planificada principalmente a lo largo de los arcenes, pero los conductores podrían encontrar equipos de construcción, trabajadores y demoras breves cerca del área del proyecto.
Las próximas fases requerirán cierres de carriles durante el día, además de un proyecto de instalación de tuberías durante un fin de semana. Esas fechas aún no se han confirmado. Las Escuelas del Condado de Pender compartirán información adicional cuando se finalicen los detalles.
Por favor, reduzca la velocidad, manténgase alerta y tenga mucho cuidado al conducir por la zona de construcción.
We are so excited to welcome our Stingray families to South Topsail Elementary School!
