Upcoming road closure for U.S. Open

For the fourth time, the U.S. Women’s Open championship will be hosted at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in Southern Pines. From May 30 to June 5, the world’s best players will compete for the coveted title of U.S. Women’s Open champion. Pine Needles and the Southern Pines area continues to be a great host for championship golf venues. The goal is to limit the inconvenience to the community while ensuring the safety of the venue, players and spectators, said Southern Pines Police Department in a news release.

From Monday, May 30 to Sunday, June 5, Highway 22 (Central Drive) will be closed from the intersection of Highway 22 and Pee Dee Road to the intersection of Highway 22 (Central Drive) and Midland Road.

During this closure, local residents will be able to access their property, but law enforcement personnel will limit access to non-residents. Law Enforcement, the USGA, and the North Carolina Department of Transportation will install temporary signage surrounding the area notifying local residents and fans of road closures and routes to venue parking.
