RALEIGH – A Guilford County interchange will soon be updated thanks to a contract recently awarded by the N.C. Department of Transportation.
Boggs Contracting Inc. of Monroe was awarded the $25.3 million contract to upgrade the South Main Street interchange on U.S. 29-70/I-85 Business.
The work primarily involves replacing the highway bridge and widening South Main Street to add turn lanes and bring the interchange up to current design standards.
The contractor may begin as early as March 28 and is scheduled to be substantially complete by late summer 2024.
A temporary bridge will be constructed so two lanes of U.S. 29-70/I-85 Business can be maintained throughout the project. Drivers can expect periodic lane closures for the work on South Main Street.
