LUMBERTON – A Robeson County intersection will close starting next week to begin construction of a roundabout.
Workers for McArthur Construction Co. of Lumberton plan to close the intersection of West Carthage and Pine Log roads, just outside of Lumberton, on Monday, Feb. 19. The intersection is scheduled to reopen in four months when the roundabout is substantially completed, leaving permanent striping and landscaping to be completed by the fall.
Traffic will detour around the construction using N.C. 211, Piney Grove, Watts and Norment roads.
NCDOT is building the roundabout to reduce crashes. Utilities around the intersection had to be relocated after the state Department of Transportation awarded a $1.1 million contract to McArthur Construction last fall.
