BISCOE — The Biscoe Police Department wants motorists to be aware that traffic lights at the intersection of N.C. 24-27 and Montgomery Crossing (Walmart) will be out of service Sunday, Sept. 23, from 8 a.m. until about noon.

Biscoe Police Chief David Maness said that Biscoe police officers will conduct traffic control during this outage. He asks motorists to avoid the area if possible.

“If you must come through to shop, work or attend church services, please be prepared for possible delays at this intersection,” Maness said.

The outage is due to construction of a new street, which requires the addition of more traffic signals at the intersection. The new street on the north side of N.C. 24/27 has opened up the area, adjacent to the Biscoe Industrial Park, for new commercial development.

N.C. 24/27 is a main traffic artery between the Charlotte and Raleigh/Fayetteville metropolitan areas. Weekend recreational traffic also uses this highway to access the Uwharrie National Forest and Lake Tillery area.

Maness asks motorists to “please watch for the officers, watch other drivers and drive safely.”
