Project Highlights

NCDOT Project BR-0093 proposes to replace the bridge on U.S. 29 / U.S. 70 over W. 5th Avenue (S.R. 1192) in Lexington.  The project will remove the existing bridge and replace them with new bridge in the existing location. The proposed bridge will include:

  • Two 12-foot travel lanes
  • 5-foot paved outside shoulders

  • During construction there will be an off-site detour route.

  • The detour route includes U.S. 220, U.S. 220-Business, and Janet Road

​Project History

The bridge was constructed in 1965 and has been identified for replacement by NCDOT’s Structures Management Unit. Project Development began in 2018. ​

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.
