NC 73 Project 

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently improving (widening) NC 73 from just west of US 21 to just east of NC 115, a distance of approximately 1.8 miles.  The existing road is to be modified to a four lane (two lanes in each direction) divided facility with additional lanes for turning movements at the intersections.  Sidewalks and landscaping will be provided on both sides of NC 73 in a majority of the project area.  The primary purpose of this project is to reduce vehicular congestion along NC73 and improve safety.

The NC 73 widening project utilizes the design-build method of construction to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of the project.  The NCDOT has set up a website for the project (R-2632AA) and can be found HERE.
