One lane of traffic is getting by at a time on Route 79 in Madison, hours after a car hit a telephone pole on Tuesday morning.
Route 79, which is also Durham Road, was closed for about a mile from 1482 Durham Road to Route 80 for much of the day and repairs are expected to continue for hours.
Police urge drivers to watch for a police officer's instructions at the scene.
Police were re-routing traffic to Route 81 in Clinton and Route 77 in Guilford
