SPARTA – The N.C. Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting to gather comments on a proposed project to replace a bridge on N.C. 21 over the Little River in Sparta.
The new bridge would be built to the northeast of the existing structure with a minor realizing of U.S. 21 due to a lack of adequate detour routes that could be used during construction.
The meeting will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the First Baptist Church of Spata, 2020 South Main Street.
Area residents may attend at any time as no formal presentation will be made. Maps of the proposed improvements will be presented and NCDOT staff will be on hand to provide information and answer questions.
Contact NCDOT Project Engineer, Keith Paschal at kpaschal@ncdot.gov or 919-707-6481 for additional information. Comments will be accepted at the meeting or by email following the meeting but should be submitted by Dec. 6, 2019.
NCDOT will provide auxiliary aids and services under the Americans with Disabilities Act for disabled persons who wish to participate in this workshop. Anyone requiring special services should contact NCDOT Senior Public Involvement Officer Diane Wilson by phone at 919-707-6073 or by email at pdwilson1@ncdot.gov as early as possible so that arrangements can be made.
