The operation requires a section of I-26 West to be closed from U.S. 64 (Exit 49) to U.S. 25 (Exit 44) starting at 8 p.m. on Thursday and 9 p.m. on Friday. A single lane closure for eastbound traffic may accompany the operation at times.
Drivers will be detoured in Hendersonville at U.S. 64 (Exit 49B) and directed west to U.S. 25 (Asheville Highway) where they may rejoin I-26 at Exit 44.
Detoured traffic will be incorporated into the Integrated Corridor Management system, a signal-timing program that provides longer green lights on the route. NCDOT officials have successfully utilized the new system several times this spring.

Looking back: Henderson County s top stories in 2020
The past year managed to bring both hardships and victories to Henderson County.
Countless lives have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with thousands of reported cases, nearly 100 deaths, and many people losing their jobs due to the economic fallout from the pandemic.
The community lost some of its beloved leaders, including Henderson County Commissioner Charlie Messer, who died suddenly in July; former Fletcher Mayor Bill Moore; and Sheriff s Office deputy Ryan Hendrix, who was killed in the line of duty in September.
Some light has come out of 2020, from developments bringing jobs and housing to the county to increased calls for social justice and a focus on equality.
