This closure is expected to remain in place through September.

In September, the Hoke Road and Wenger Rd intersection will be closed for up to 60 days for the construction of a new roundabout.

This work is part of Phase I of the Hoke Road Widening Project, which will improve traffic flow, enhance safety with a new roundabout, add sidewalks and a multi-use path, install new lighting, and extend water and sewer infrastructure along the corridor.

Drivers are advised to plan ahead, use alternate routes, and allow for extra travel time.
