The Pinehurst traffic circle will continue to be closed each night through Thursday while road resurfacing work is underway. The project is part of a $2.86 million contract state transportation (DOT) officials awarded the Fred Smith Company of Raleigh earlier this year.
Repaving work is also scheduled along parts of U.S. 1 and U.S. 15-501 and eight sections of secondary roads in Moore County, with all work slated for completion by June 2022.
Brandon Jones, N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) Division 5 engineer, said the resurfacing projects have no effect on the timelines for other major road projects that have been postponed to accommodate the 2024 U.S. Open in Pinehurst.
Nearly 14 miles of U.S. 1 and U.S. 15-501 and eight sections of secondary roads in Moore County, plus nearly 7 miles of U.S. 15-501 between Aberdeen and the Scotland County line, are scheduled for resurfacing work according to the state Department of Transportation (DOT).
The agency announced Wednesday that contracts were awarded for rehabilitation projects to improve 85 miles of roadways in central North Carolina. These anticipated projects include milling and resurfacing and shoulder grading or reconstruction at most locations.
All of the announced work can begin as early as the week of March 15, DOT stated.
