CONCORD – Improvements are on the way to a Concord intersection, thanks to a $14 million contract the N.C. Department of Transportation awarded earlier this month. Crews with NJR Group, Inc. earned the contract to enhance Union Cemetery Road at U.S. 29/Rock Hill Church Road in Concord.
As early as next month, contract crews can start realigning Union Cemetery Road to intersect U.S. 29/Rock Hill Church Road. The project also calls for building leftover turn movements along U.S. 29 from Rock Hill Church Road and from U.S. 29 to Cabarrus Avenue. These will replace unsignalized, full movement intersections to improve safety and reduce crashes.
The roadway portion of the project should be completed in late fall 2027, with landscaping and vegetation establishment ongoing into spring 2028.
