Heading to Bob Timberlake Gallery? A temporary detour is in place through August 28, but they’re still open and just a few minutes off the usual route! 🚗 Be sure to check out the directions below before your visit.

From 8/10-8/28 there will be a temporary detour getting to the Gallery from I-85. Please follow posted detour instructions, but using exit 91 -> NC8 -> Right on E Center St. is the most straight forward path. It is only about 4 min!
