Duplin County Road to close for pipe replacement

PINK HILL – A section of Panther Creek Road in Duplin County is scheduled to close through mid-October for maintenance.

N.C. Department of Transportation crews will close the roadway near N.C. 11 between 9 a.m. Oct. 10 through 5 p.m. Oct. 21. The closure will allow crews to safely remove an undersized crossline pipe and replace it with a larger culvert. The upgrade will improve water flow and will be able to handle more, too.

Drivers should use N.C. 111 or N.C. 11 as a detour. The department encourages drivers to give themselves extra time for a potentially longer commute and use caution near the work zone.
