Monroe, NC – Drivers in Union County are being urged to plan ahead as a road closure near a key government facility is expected to impact traffic flow today.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, Presson Road is temporarily closed due to ongoing paving operations. The closure affects access routes commonly used by visitors heading to the Union County Detention Center, Magistrate’s Office, and the Sheriff’s Office main building.
Officials said those needing access to these facilities should reroute through the entrance at Brooks Farm Equipment and follow the designated roadway leading to the main office. The detour is intended to maintain access while crews complete necessary roadwork improvements.
The paving project is part of routine infrastructure maintenance aimed at improving road safety and driving conditions in the area. However, authorities warn that delays and congestion may occur, especially during peak travel times.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time, follow posted detour signs, and remain alert for construction crews working in the area. No official timeline was immediately provided for when Presson Road is expected to fully reopen, but updates are anticipated as work progresses.
Local officials also emphasized the importance of using caution when navigating near the closure zone to ensure the safety of both workers and motorists.
Motorists who frequently travel through this corridor or need access to county services are advised to monitor updates from the Union County Sheriff’s Office for the latest information on road conditions and reopening schedules.
