**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
Road Improvement Project to Begin on East Kings Street
Kings Mountain, NC - The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is set to commence work on a section of East Kings Street (US 74 Business) from Battleground Avenue (NC 216) to Canterbury Road as part of its Resurfacing Program. The initial phase of this project will begin on Monday, April 7, 2025, and is expected to last approximately two weeks.
Phase one will focus on “full depth” patching in areas identified as having recurrent pavement failures due to water infiltration. The project will include thorough investigations to pinpoint the source of the water, along with the installation of geo-fabric to prevent future issues.
Throughout the summer, the patching will be monitored to ensure its effectiveness. Following this, phase two is planned for this fall, which will involve resurfacing the entire width of the roadway.
Motorists should be aware that the construction may result in multiple lane closures. To minimize traffic disruptions, the city encourages travelers to utilize alternative routes when possible. If you must pass through the construction zone, please drive cautiously and remain vigilant of your surroundings.
