Waynesville -- Town of Waynesville News: For Immediate Release March 8, 2024
There are two upcoming NCDOT projects that will be affecting the Town of Waynesville and will be ongoing at the same time.
These two projects are the Russ Avenue Widening project and the US 23/74 bridge replacement project. We will see movement on the Russ Avenue project as soon as Monday night, March 11, 2024. This work will include the lane narrowing of the two Russ Avenue bridges. This narrowing will reduce the travel lanes across the bridges to two lanes. During the initial stages, the NCDOT contractor will also be clearing trees that are in the project right-of-way. The contractor stated that once the crews were mobilized, they will not be pulled from the project to complete any work elsewhere.
NCDOT will be performing lane narrowing and lane drops that will extend from Walnut Street down to the intersection of Russ, Dellwood, and Howell Mill Roads. This work is expected to begin on the evening of March 11, 2024. In three weeks, the intersection of Russ Avenue and Walnut Street will transition to being completely closed as the contractor will begin working on the replacement of the Russ Avenue railroad bridge. This intersection will stay closed for the remainder of the year or until the bridge is completed.
NCDOT contractors will begin work on the US 23/74 bridge construction by mid-March 2024 with a projected completion date of March 29, 2028.
