LUMBERTON – Sections of more than 40 roads in Robeson County will be repaved and restriped under a trio of contracts the N.C. Department of Transportation approved last month. They are:
- N.C. 41 between Turkey Branch Road and N.C. 130 in Fairmont
- N.C. 130 between Old Stage and Wire Grass roads
- N.C. 72 between N.C. 711 and Interstate 95
- N.C. 711 (East Third Street) in Pembroke between Odom and Cherry streets
- U.S. 301 between N.C. 20 in St. Pauls and N.C. 71
Additionally, 37 secondary routes scattered across the county will be repaved. In all, about 44 miles of roadway will be improved by the three contracts, which were awarded to the lowest bidder, Barnhill Contracting Co. of Rocky Mount, for a total of about $11.6 million.
The work can begin this spring and will be completed by the summer of 2020.
