Old Hillsborough Rd closed near Mebane for maintenance until July 31
Old Hillsborough Rd near Jones Rd will close in both directions June 8 through July 31, detouring traffic southwest of Mebane.

Traffic on Old Hillsborough Rd near Jones Rd southwest of Mebane is headed for a detour that will shut down both directions for nearly eight weeks. NCDOT’s DriveNC system lists the work as maintenance on SR-2126 in Alamance County.
The closure is scheduled to begin June 8 at 6 a.m. and run until July 31 at noon. DriveNC marks the incident as “Road Closed with Detour” and says the restriction affects traffic in both directions, making Old Hillsborough Rd a non-through route while the work is underway.
NCDOT says DriveNC and the 511 Information Line are its official tools for checking road conditions, closures, detours, crashes and weather-related travel updates. Motorists heading through the Mebane area can use those state systems to confirm the detour and watch for any change in the posted schedule.
The state listing does not spell out the specific maintenance work on Old Hillsborough Rd, but the calendar is already set: a closure near Jones Rd, southwest of Mebane, running through the end of July unless the traffic notice is updated. If crews need more time, the revised end date should appear in the same DriveNC and 511 postings that are carrying the current detour.
