NCDOT will be constructing two roundabouts on US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business)
at the US-1 interchange (EXIT 71) in the city of Sanford, Lee County.
Beginning on or about April 27th, US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) will be closed to
through traffic under the US-1 overpass bridge.
This section of US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) will be closed for 60 days to construct
the two roundabouts.
During the 60-day road closure, the US-1 northbound off ramp to US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) will be closed. Charleston Drive (SR-1445) will also remain closed for 60-day duration.
Construction during the final seven days of the 60-day road closure will require the US-1 southbound off ramp and the US-1 northbound on ramp to be closed at the US-1 and US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) interchange (EXIT 71).
The US-1 southbound ramp from US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) will remain open during all phases of construction. Beechtree Drive (SR-1444) and Amos Bridges Road (SR-1420) will also remain open during construction.
Traveling south on US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) exit onto the US-1 southbound on ramp prior to the US-1 overpass bridge, continue on US-1 south to EXIT 69B Burns Drive (SR-1406), take right onto Burns Drive (SR-1406) back to US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business). The detour route will be signed.
Traveling north on US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business), exit onto the US-1 northbound on ramp prior to the US-1 overpass bridge, continue on US-1 north to EXIT 74 Colon Road (SR-1415), take left onto Colon Road (SR-1415), exit onto the US-1 southbound on ramp, continue on US-1 south back to US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) (EXIT 71). The detour route will be signed.
During the final seven days of the 60-day road closure on US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) under the US-1 overpass bridge, the US-1 northbound on ramp from US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) will be closed.
Traveling north on US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business), turn left onto Burns Drive (SR-1406), exit onto the US-1 northbound on ramp, continue on US-1 north to EXIT 74 Colon Road
(SR-1415), take left onto Colon Road (SR-1415), turn left onto Deep River Road (SR-1466) back to US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business).
The detour route will be signed. US-1 traffic wanting to access the US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business) interchange (EXIT 71) will take EXIT 74 Colon Road (SR-1415) to Deep River Road (SR-1466) and EXIT 69B Burns Drive (SR-1406).
Follow message boards and signs for specific detour routes during the final seven days of road closure on US-15/501/Hawkins Avenue (US-1 Business).

Even with the rendering, I can't quite picture the final product: do you really mean to say they are constructing roundabouts in the middle of the highway, or are the roundabouts only going to be on Hawkins at the end of the exit from the highway? Everyone I know absolutely hates roundabouts so I really hope they're not going to be plopped into the middle of the highway. that would be insanity.
ReplyDeleteWho's dumbass idea was this? Fix the pot holes and add in a few stop lights instead of spending money that we don't have on things that will end up causing more wrecks in the long run.
