GRAHAM – The N.C. Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace a 97-year-old Alamance County bridge thanks to a recently awarded contract.
Kemp Sigmon Construction Co. Inc. was awarded the $7.7 million contract to replace the bridge which carries N.C. 87 over Cane Creek.
The bridge, originally constructed in 1929, has reached the end of its service life and will be replaced with a new structure featuring increased vertical clearance and improved shoulders.
Construction can begin as early as March 30. The new bridge will be constructed in the location of the bridge being replaced, and traffic will be maintained on-site utilizing an adjacent detour bridge.
The bridge is expected to open to traffic by spring 2028, with vegetation work continuing through fall 2028.
