Balfour Beatty has been awarded a $203 million design-build
contract by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
to improve traffic on a 5.1-mile stretch of U.S. 70 in James City
in Craven County. The project will upgrade the section of U.S. 70,
which is one of the primary east-west corridors across eastern
North Carolina, to interstate standards.
The project is designed to improve access to local community
services and enhance economic development in the area. According to
NCDOT, U.S. 70 provides an important connection between the port at
Morehead City, military bases in Havelock and Goldsboro and the
Global TransPark in Kinston.
“Our southeast region team’s design-build expertise and unique
ability to self-perform both the structures and roadway scope make
this U.S. 70 improvement project a strategic fit,” said Mark
Johnnie, vice president and southeast region manager for Balfour
Beatty’s U.S. civil construction operations. “We’re honored to once
again serve as NCDOT’s construction partner as we begin work to
deliver another successful project for this client.”
Design and right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in
late 2019, and construction is expected to commence in early 2021.
The work is expected to be complete in the fall of 2023.
