Road to close May 21st

The Roseland Road bridge that crosses Deep Creek west of Aberdeen is scheduled to close Monday, May 21st.

A contract crew for the N.C. Department of Transportation will replace the 1950s-era bridge, which has become functionally obsolete for modern traffic and requires expensive maintenance.

The new bridge is scheduled to open in September.

A detour will route traffic onto Hoffman and Rose Ridge roads.

This is one of two bridges in Moore County being replaced by Dellinger Inc. of Monroe under a $1.2 million contract. The other bridge, on Jackson Springs Road, opened this month.
