UNION COUNTY, N.C. — A bridge on Prospect Road in southern Union County is set to be replaced in the coming months, the North Carolina Department of Transportation announced.
The bridge on Prospect Road over Polecat Creek will be rebuilt with work expected to be complete by next April, NCDOT said. Highway contractor Dellinger Inc. was awarded the contract for the $691,000 project, which will replace the two-lane bridge in Union County. Work can begin as early as Sept. 19.
Drivers who use Prospect Road will be detoured onto Carl Belk Road, Trinity Church Road and Plyler Mill Road while the bridge is being replaced. NCDOT said the work must be open to drivers by the end of April 2023.
