The N.C. Department of Transportation has awarded a $15 million contract to the Smith-Rowe Inc. of Mount Airy to widen 1.1 miles of Main Street in King.
The project will widen the road from the entrance to the Reynolds American plant in Forsyth County to the Kirby Road in King, the state transportation department said. The road, which has five narrow lanes, will be widened to a four-lane boulevard with a median.
The project also includes rebuilding and widening the interchange where Main Street crosses over U.S. 52 in King, the department said. A seven-lane roadway, which will include new ramps onto U.S. 52, will be built.
Construction is scheduled to begin by April 27. It is scheduled to be completed in August 2011. The project received federal stimulus money.
