Union County, NC – Wesley Chapel Stouts Road, between U.S. 74 and just past Rosetta Drive, is currently closed for approximately the next two hours as crews work to fix an electrical issue, according to the Union County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said no injuries have been reported, but motorists should avoid the area if possible. The closure is expected to cause traffic delays and congestion along nearby routes.
Utility and law enforcement crews are on site managing the situation and directing drivers through alternate routes. Motorists are urged to exercise caution when traveling near the area and to follow posted signs or directions from officials.
A power advisory was also issued for nearby homes. Residences located between U.S. 74 and the railroad tracks at Orr Road may experience temporary outages while repairs are underway.
Officials expect service and road access to be restored later today once the electrical issue is resolved.
