WESLEY CHAPEL – The N.C. Department of Transportation has awarded a $1.68 million contract to Monroe company True Rock Construction, LLC to build a roundabout at Wesley Chapel and Potter roads.
Crews can start as early as June 23, with roundabout construction scheduled from July 7-Sept. 1. During this phase of the project, drivers will be detoured along N.C. 84/Weddington Road, Airport Road, and Goldmine Road, returning to Wesley Chapel Road. Vegetation establishment will continue into the spring of 2026.
Roundabouts improve safety for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. They also help reduce the congestion and backups more typical at traditional intersections with stop signs and traffic signals.
NCDOT has produced a video showing how roundabouts work and improve overall safety.
