SELMA – Drivers will encounter a detour on N.C. 96 near N.C. 42 East as part of ongoing construction. The closure will affect only N.C. 96 south of its intersection with N.C. 42, where contract crews are constructing a roundabout to improve safety and traffic flow. They need to detour traffic while they remove a drainage pipe and install a larger culvert on N.C. 96.
