Stay off Eastchester Drive
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
Stay off Eastchester Drive in High Point! The road is being repaved and there are lane closures up and down the road.
Maybe I'm a bit touchy because as the News & Record's transportation reporter, I've tried to warn you with stories.
But it seems like nobody is listening. So I'll say it again, especially because the lane closures seem to be especially prevalent this week.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is repaving Eastchester Drive from Penny Road to North Centennial Street.
Road crews are permitted to work weekdays from 8:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m. with an exception for certain heavily traveled areas. Work on Eastchester Drive's intersections with Wendover Avenue/Skeet Club Road and North Centennial Street as well as just south of Penny Road can only take place on the weekends.
The High Point Department of Transportation is recommending drivers use Johnson Street as an alternative.
The repaving should be completed in late June or early July.
