Crash closes N.C. 50 near Garner, road reopens by noon
A crash with injuries shut the north side of N.C. 50 at Arbor Greene Drive near Garner, and NCDOT said the road reopened just after noon.
A crash with injuries shut the north side of N.C. 50 at Arbor Greene Drive near Garner on Monday morning, slowing traffic in the Arbor Greene Drive and Benson Road area during the late-morning commute and errand period. The closure hit a key Wake County corridor before the road reopened just after noon.
North Carolina Department of Transportation officials said the crash was reported just before 10:43 a.m. in the area of Arbor Greene Drive and Benson Road. The shutdown affected the north side of N.C. 50 at Arbor Greene Drive, forcing drivers to work around the blocked stretch until crews cleared the scene and reopened the road.
The disruption was brief, but it came on a route that has already seen major interruptions in Garner. N.C. 50 was also closed for nearly three months for bridge construction, with NCDOT saying that separate work zone was scheduled to reopen May 3. That history has made the corridor one of the more closely watched roads for Wake County drivers moving through Garner.
