Lexington road closures for weeks

A busy Lexington road will have lane closures for 2 weeks, officials announced Monday, July 8.

The Town of Lexington says there will be lane closures on North Lake Drive because Dominion Energy will be upgrading gas lines.

The work will start from the intersection of North Lake Drive and Sunset Blvd and end at the corner of Old Cherokee Road.
