The road will be widened to four lanes with a center turn lane from Route 220 to 0.4 mile east of Route 122. A ramp from westbound Route 40 to northbound Route 220 also will be built. Delays may occur along the Route 220 Rocky Mount Bypass. Estimated completion is spring 2001. The bridge is located northeast of Rocky Mount between Route 122's east and west intersections with Route 699.
Traffic is reduced to one lane across the bridge, and temporary signals have been installed.
Vehicles wider than eight feet are prohibited. Estimated completion is summer 2001. The eastbound Route 460 bridges over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks and the New River near the Celanese plant are being replaced. Eastbound traffic has been shifted into the westbound lanes. Expect delays and use caution.
