Project Overview
STIP Project B-5685 involves replacing the bridge (No. 89) on Nutbush Road over the John H. Kerr Reservoir in Vance County. The existing bridge is 196 feet in length, was built in 1952, and is reaching the end of its useful life.
Several potential construction methods were evaluated and it was decided that the new bridge would be built in the same location as the existing bridge. A detour route (shown below) is recommended during construction.
The new bridge will be approximately 211 feet long and will have two 9-foot lanes. No new right of way will be needed to construct the new bridge.

Construction and Detour Route
During construction Nutbush Road will be closed on either side of the worksite. The roadway will be available on either side of the construction site. The recommended detour route includes the use of N.C. 39, Spring Valley Road, U.S. 158 and Satterwhite Point Road.
This detour is expected to be needed for six to nine months beginning in Early 2025.

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed.
