Several Robeson County routes to be resurfaced, restriped

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

A $2.4M contract will fund the resurfacing and restriping of several routes in Robeson County. 

 

The contract was awarded by NCDOT to Johnson Brothers Utility & Paving Co. of Lillington in April. 

 

Altogether, 17 miles will be worked on. These are the sections set to be improved upon:

 

Snipes Road near Red Springs

Shannon Road near Red Springs

Shaw Road south of Parkton

Long Road east of Lumberton

Lambshire Drive outside Lumberton

Rachel Street outside Lumberton

Yedda Road outside Lumberton

Atlanta Street outside Lumberton

Shirley Street outside Lumberton

In addition, 7.5 miles of Old Red Springs Road will be resurfaced from N.C. 710 in Red Springs to almost the U.S. 74 overpass in Maxton.

 

 

The contract work can begin in June and must be completed by the fall of next year. 

 

People driving through those routes can expect lane closures, flagging operations and delays. NCDOT advises drivers in the aforementioned areas to slow down and be alert while traveling in any work zone.
