WAKE COUNTY, N.C. -- The eastbound U.S. 70 loop onto I-40 westbound in Garner will close permanently this weekend.

The ramp from U.S. 70 EB to I-40 WB in Garner is closing permanently.

It will be replaced by a signalized intersection by January 1, 2020.

The detour will be to go to Greenfield Parkway and turn around to U.S. 70 west to I-40.

This is the ramp near White Oak shopping center.

According to the Town of Garner, the ramp will close sometime November 3 or into the morning of November 4.

According to NCDOT, a new permanent traffic pattern will be complete by January 1, 2020 that will provide a signalized intersection for a left-turn movement from U.S. 70 east onto the ramp for I-40 westbound.

DOT says the ramp is being closed to eliminate the crisscrossing of vehicles as they get onto and off of I-40 West at that interchange.

&amp;amp;nbsp;

The detour route will be to continue on U.S. 70 eastbound to Greenfield Parkway and turn around back to U.S. 70 west to take the ramp onto I-40 westbound.
