Last week an announcement was made that a section of Raeford Road near Highland Country Club will close starting at month’s end to replace a culvert. Due to a utility conflict, the start date for this closure has been rescheduled for April 14.
The 7-foot-wide concrete culvert that drains Branson Creek underneath Raeford Road was built in the 1940s, and is nearing the end of its lifespan. The new culvert will improve drainage for this road.
Mountain Creek Contractors Inc. of Mount Pleasant, which won the $1 million bid in December to replace the culvert, plans to start the project on April 14 when Raeford Road will close in both directions at this vicinity.
The road is expected to reopen with the new culvert in November. People should plan accordingly when following detour signs, expect a longer commute, and be cautious when traveling near the work site.
