HIGH POINT – N.C. Department of Transportation contractors are making headway on the
Skeet Club Road widening project in High Point despite weather and utility relocation delays.
Current work includes:
- Culvert replacement just east of Jeffery Lane;
- Grading and pipe work along the entire length of the 3.4-mile project;
- Erosion control measures;
- Traffic signal work; and
- Bi-weekly mowing.
“We appreciate the public’s patience as APAC Atlantic Inc. contract crews work to widen this portion of the heavily traveled corridor with the ultimate goal of improving safety for drivers,” said Division Engineer Mike Mills.
“Our contractors are expediting work along the portion of the project between N.C. 68 and Barrow Road in an effort to ease congestion, ” said Resident Engineer Paul Ingram. “Our goal is to have this section of Skeet Club Road in a four-lane pattern by November of 2019.” In addition, crews will construct an on-site detour for Waterview Road to maintain traffic flow while bridge work is being performed near the intersection of Skeet Club Road and Waterview Road.
Upcoming work requiring intermittent slow-downs and lane shifts include:
- Pipe installations on Kendale Road. (early August),
- Temporary water and sewer line work and Colonial Pipeline bridge work at Oak Hollow Lake (mid August); and
- Grading and paving for the Waterview Road relocation (early September).
The purpose of this project is to widen Skeet Club Road between N.C. 68 and Johnson Street to a multi-lane divided highway, including better accessibility for pedestrians. The project began in spring of 2015. NCDOT and the contractor agreed to pursue completion of the project by the end of 2020.
Transportation officials advise drivers to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.
