County of Gaston issued the following announcement on Oct. 30.
Starting next week, an N.C. Department of Transportation contractor will close a road in Gaston County for several months to replace a bridge.
On Nov. 2, the Old Willis School Road bridge over Hoyle Creek will be closed. The replacement is necessary after the foundation and substructure of the bridge, which was built in 1964, were found to be in poor condition. Work is expected to be complete by next summer.
Traffic will be detoured onto Dallas Stanley Highway (N.C. 275), Upper Spencer Mountain Road, Rhyne Road, Hoyle Creek Road and back to Old Willis School Road.
Motorists are advised to remain alert in the area and plan for delays while using the detour.
