Street Improvements Update
City of Mount Holly Street Improvements Project Update
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mount Holly, NC - The City of Mount Holly is undergoing several street improvements that will continue into early 2024. The following are updates regarding the first phases:
Belmont Mount Holly Road: Work started on June 5, 2023. Contractors are currently installing and replacing a Sanitary Storm Sewer Infrastructure which will be followed by the installation of new sidewalks. This project started at Margarette Avenue and will continue all the way to 101 Belmont Mount Holly Road (Circle K). This project is expected to take several months to complete with an estimation of being done by Thanksgiving.
Beatty Road: The City will also be upgrading the existing Sanitary Storm Sewer Infrastructure on Beatty Road. They started work mid-July and will continue through the start of the 23-24 school year. Please consider alternate routes during this time during school hours.
Blanche Avenue: The City will be upgrading the existing Sanitary Storm Sewer Infrastructure on Blanche Ave as well. They are expected to start in July 2023.
The Contractor will begin pavement patching across the City ahead of the crack seal and the AST work around early- to mid-August. They will also make curb repairs and begin patching on the roads.
ADA ramps will be added at every intersection downtown (where sidewalk is existing) between Glendale and Highland.
The crosswalks downtown will be repainted as they are now at the same locations. The only new location is at the bank where they will be stamped and then painted. This work is expected to begin in mid- to late-August.
Please expect minor traffic delays during this time between the hours of 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Site Inspector, Steven Haynie, by calling 980-525-9774 or emailing steven.haynie@mtholly.us.
