A new bridge and interchange that lifts Kelly Road over U.S. 64 at Apex will open for traffic Sept. 26, the state Department of Transportation said.
It was built as part of the nearby Triangle Expressway toll road project. To prepare for the new bridge opening, DOT closed an existing section of Kelly Road north from U.S. 64 to Jenks Road, on Wednesday. A detour is marked to reroute Kelly Road drivers on U.S. 64, Green Level Church Road and Jenks Road.
