Drivers will soon have a smoother ride on three Stanly County roads, thanks to a $1.2 million resurfacing contract the N.C. Department of Transportation awarded in December.
The contract includes improvements to segments of U.S. 52 in Albemarle, N.C. 742/205 in Oakboro and Falls Road in Badin, in all approximately 2.5 miles.
The contractor, J.T. Russell & Sons Inc. of Albemarle, can start work as early as April 2025 and complete the project in the fall of 2026.
