STATESVILLE, N.C. — On Monday a contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation will begin replacing a bridge in Iredell County.
R.E. Burns & Sons is set to start the $1.5 million project to replace the 63-year-old bridge over Third Creek on Wood Bridge Road.
The new bridge will feature wider lanes with a shoulder and no weight restrictions, improving safety and accessibility for drivers.
To accommodate the construction, a signed detour will direct traffic around the closure using U.S. 64 and Island Ford Road. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2026.
