$2.7M Road Upgrade Projects Set to Begin Across Cumberland County

North Carolina's transportation officials awarded Highland Paving a $2.7 million deal to fix 13 miles of Cumberland County roads. The work starts this fall.

Six key roads need attention. This work aims to cut down on crashes and make driving smoother.

The updates stretch across Raeford Road from U.S. 401 Business to Broadfoot Avenue. Black & Decker Road near I-95 Business will see major changes. North of Fayetteville, Elliot Farm and Elliot Bridge roads wait for their turn.

Near Hope Mills, John McMillan Road needs work from the Robeson line to Chicken Foot Road. Up by the Harnett border, Sandclay Road shows signs of wear. Grimes Road, running between Stoney Point and Dundle, rounds out the list.

Spring 2027 marks the finish line. Each fix targets spots where traffic flows heaviest. New shoulders give drivers more room to maneuver, cutting the risk of accidents.

The updates span both city streets and rural paths. Shoppers on Raeford Road will notice smoother rides, while country drivers on Sandclay Road will find their daily trips less bumpy.

These changes matter to everyone in Cumberland County. When finished, drivers moving between Fayetteville, Hope Mills, and nearby spots will notice the difference. The work promises better connections for thousands who use these roads each day.
