Nearly 13 miles of U.S. 74 in Robeson County will be milled and resurfaced, after the N.C. Department of Transportation awarded an $18.7 million contract to Barnhill Co. last week.
The work will cover the entirety of U.S. 74 within the county – from Maxton to just beyond the Lumber River at the Columbus County line.
In addition to the new pavement, six U.S. 74 bridges will undergo various kinds of maintenance and preservation work to extend their natural lifespans.
The Rocky Mount-based company can begin sometime this summer, and it will have two years to complete the work.
During construction, drivers will encounter various daytime or nighttime lane closures along this highway, so they should slow down, follow all work zone signs and warnings, and be alert for crews and equipment.
