Residents of Granville County can expect smoother travels in the near future, as the N.C. Department of Transportation dishes out $2.3 million for road improvements over 18 miles of secondary roads. Sunrock Industries LLC has been tasked with this sizeable project, targeting seven distinct sections throughout the county.
This much-needed tender will address Old N.C. 75, Lawrence Road, Thad Carey Road, Joe Pruitt Road, Bodie Currin Road, Cornwall Road, and John Watkins Road. Maintenance will involve a comprehensive approach, including milling, resurfacing, shoulder reconstruction, and curb replacement. It's a multifaceted enhancement evidently set to bolster the driving experience for locals and passers-through alike.
Kick-off for the construction is scheduled for this spring, clearly indicating a push for infrastructure renewal just in time for the seasonal shift. The endgame is to wrap up this extensive overhaul by the fall of 2026, according to the timelines suggested by the N.C. Department of Transportation's announcement. This gives drivers in Granville County plenty of reason to look forward to less wear and tear on their vehicles and, ideally, less hassle on their commutes.
Details regarding traffic detours and potential delays haven't been paraded out yet, but it's reasonable to expect that some disruptions will emerge as the projects pick up steam.
