The N.C. Department of Transportation will close Bringle Ferry Road so contractors can do environmental cleanup work following an ethanol spill during a deadly tanker truck accident that occurred Thursday near Salisbury.

Weather permitting; contractors will begin cleanup on Bringle Ferry Road starting and 7 a.m. today. Work is expected to wrap up by Friday, April 24 at 5 p.m.

Motorists will use Panther Creek Road, Riblien Road, Stokes Ferry Road, Wyatt Grove Church Road and Surratt Road as the signed detour route.

NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.
