Cabarrus County is set to see more than 11 miles of its roads refurbished in a $3.3 million upgrade project, as announced by the N.C. Department of Transportation. The upgrade will touch on several secondary roads, with Albemarle-based contractor J.T. Russell & Sons Inc. spearheading the efforts.
According to details from Kannapolis City's official website, improvements will include milling, resurfacing, shoulder reconstruction, along with pavement markings and concrete driveways. The scope of this project is not just about aesthetics — it aims to enhance the safety and longevity of the county's arterial lifelines.
The roads slated for the overhaul are Miami Church Road, Flowes Store Road, and Kannapolis Parkway. Specifically, the segments to be worked on are Miami Church Road from Mt. Pleasant Road to U.S. 601, Flowes Store Road from Flowes Store Road East to N.C. 24/27, and Kannapolis Parkway from N.C. 3 to Kellswater Bridges Boulevard. Residents commuting along these routes can anticipate smoother and potentially less stressful trips once the work is complete.
Work is slated to begin as early as this week and is expected to conclude by fall of 2026, reflecting a long-term investment in the area's infrastructure. For those looking to stay updated on travel information and the impact of the construction work, Kannapolis City's news release encourages the public to visit DriveNC.gov or follow NCDOT on social media, enabling drivers to plan their routes accordingly.
