Motorists will be still be able to turn right to gain access to the Food Lion shopping center and neighboring stores, and should do so with caution from the rightmost travel lane. Existing side entry to the shopping center will remain open for additional access.

The right-turn lane closure is scheduled to begin any day and is anticipated to be in place for up to 3 months.

The construction work is part of the current project to improve safety and traffic operations by installing a traffic signal, signs, and lighting at the Route 13 and Country Place intersection. The project will also widen and lengthen the right and left-turn lanes on Route 13 south to Country Place. The improvements are estimated to be complete by spring 2021.
