HUNTERSVILLE – The N.C. Department of Transportation is extending the closure of McCoy Road between Beatties Ford Road and Hambright Road in Huntersville through Wednesday, Feb. 22. The project was supposed to be completed Jan. 28.

Crews with Piedmont Natural Gas have been working to replace gas valves, and have encountered delays due to the weather, and from working around live transmission lines. A scheduled tie-in was also postponed due to rain and a flooded trench. Motorists should take Hambright Road around the work area.
