​Beginning this week, the N.C. Department of Transportation will close a road in Iredell County for several months.

Starting at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, December 22, Jennings Road will be closed in both directions between Gethsemane and Mount Vernon Church roads while crews replace the bridge over Olin Creek.

Work is expected to be complete by late July 2022.

Traffic will be detoured to Mount Vernon Church Road, Friendship Road and Gethsemane Road. Motorists should use caution and plan for delays due to the detour.
