A stretch of Gillis Hill Road in western Fayetteville will be widened and see new improvements, the North Carolina Department of Transportation says.
The 1.1 mile stretch between Stoney Point Road and Raeford Road is under contract with W.C. English Inc. for $22.6 million and will be widening from two lanes to four. The project also includes concrete curbs and gutters.
The installation of a drainage system and a raised median will improve safety.
Additionally, the bridge over Little Rockfish Creek will be replaced with two bridges to accommodate the wider road.
The project is expected to ease congestion and plan for anticipated growth. According to NCDOT, on average, 25,000 vehicles travel on Gillis Hill Road a day. The volume is expected to increase 24 percent to 31,000 vehicles a day in 20 years.
Construction is expected to begin in July and will be phased, allowing the original two-way path and bridge to remain open as half of the new road is being constructed.
Once the new construction of the road is completed, traffic will transition to the new pavement while the existing pavement is being rebuilt. The project is scheduled to be completed and fully opened by the fall of 2024.
