MOREHEAD CITY – More than two dozen miles of roadway in Carteret and Onslow counties will be upgraded thanks to two recently awarded contracts by the N.C. Department of Transportation.
Crews will mill, resurface and reconstruct shoulders more than 18 miles of N.C. 24 in Carteret County. The $9 million contract allows crews to start work in spring 2025 and be complete, except for planting, summer 2026.
In another contract, for nearly $5 million, crews will do the same work within one section of N.C. 24 and three sections of secondary roads in Onslow County. Work in this area will begin around this Thanksgiving and be complete by summer 2026.
While crews work, drivers can expect lane closures. The department will provide more traffic updates on DriveNC.gov prior to work beginning.
Both contracts were awarded to ST Wooten Corp. this month.
