Drivers should <br /> remain cautious and alert when approaching the road closure and factor the detour into their trips. <br /> Highway Construction Trade Academy <br /> The NCDOT Office of Civil Rights is hosting a new round of statewide Highway Construction Trade Acad- <br /> emies through the end of April. <br /> This training provides needed skills and resources for career opportunities in the highway construction <br /> industry. The training targets women, minorities and other disadvantaged populations, including veter- <br /> ans, the disabled and residents of poorer Tier 1 counties where there's a need for such training and jobs. <br /> Each HCTA lasts about two weeks. Those interested can email Myrakle Clark (mkclark2@ncdot.gov) or <br /> call 984-480-1085 for more info and pre-register here: (https://connect.ncdot.gov/business/ <br /> SmallBusiness/OnTheJobTraining/Pages/HCTA-Pre-Registration-Form.aspx) <br /> NCDOT Statewide Litter Sweep <br /> NCDOT needs volunteers to help clean up trash along roads during the Adopt-A-Highway Fall Litter <br /> Sweep from April 16-30. <br /> Each April and September, NCDOT asks volunteers to help remove litter from roadsides. Volunteers <br /> from local businesses, schools, nonprofits, churches, municipalities, law enforcement and community <br /> groups play an important role in keeping North Carolina's roads clean. <br /> Volunteers can request clean-up supplies such as trash bags, gloves and safety vests from local NCDOT <br /> county maintenance offices. No sign up is required. NCDOT County Coordinator and Maintenance Of- <br /> fice (for supplies) can be found at .https:Hwww.ncdot.gov/littersweep. <br />
