North Carolina Department of Transportation officials are encouraging travelers to slow down and be alert for crews and equipment while sections of U.S. Highway 17 and Interstate 40 in Brunswick and Pender counties are being resurfaced.
The work will require lane closures and periodic delays while contractors mill out old pavement and resurface the road with new asphalt.
