MONROE – Almost 19 miles of primary and secondary roads across Union County will be upgraded soon, thanks to a $6.9 million N.C. Department of Transportation contract earned by Monroe contractor TrueRock Construction LLC.

Contract crews will improve a section of U.S. 74 East from Wesley Chapel Stouts Road to Rocky River Road and a separate segment between Bivens Road and Edgewood Drive. In addition, part of N.C. 84 will be resurfaced between Airport Road and Willoughby Road.
These secondary roads are also planned for improvement as follows:
