The N.C. Department of Transportation is setting the stage for smoother travels in Wake County. A resurfacing contract, close to the tune of $3.8 million, has been awarded to Blythe Construction Inc., tasked with the job of refining over 6 miles of road terrain. This infrastructure upgrade spans key arteries: from Glenwood Avenue's stretch between Wade Avenue and Women's Club Drive, to that of Lead Mine Road running from Century Drive to Old Lead Mine Road, including a key ramp improvement connecting Wade Avenue to the Glenwood stretch.
With funding secured, work on the project can begin as early as December, according to the NCDOT press release. Local commuters should expect temporary disruptions during construction, which is expected to be completed by summer 2027, improving roads and reducing potholes and wear over the long term.
This infrastructure project is part of NCDOT’s ongoing efforts to maintain and improve North Carolina’s highways, roads, and bridges, focusing on safety and sustainability. Blythe Construction Inc. is carrying out the work in Wake County, which involves planning and construction to improve travel routes. The project aims to provide smoother commutes and more reliable transportation for residents.
