WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Just in time for the holidays, the N.C. Department of Transportation contractors plan to open the section of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway between U.S. 158 and U.S. 311.
According to NCDOT, the section is set to open Wednesday evening – six months ahead of schedule!
“This is a critical section of the Northern Beltway project, primarily because of how it will reduce congestion on N.C. 66 and improve the daily lives of people in the Walkertown area,” said NCDOT Division 9 Engineer Pat Ivey. “We couldn’t be more pleased to open this portion of the highway just in time for the holidays.”
