Flatiron, one of the largest infrastructure contractors in North
America, together with its joint venture partner, Blythe Development,
has been awarded the contract to build three additional segments of the
Winston-Salem Northern Beltway in Forsyth County, North Carolina. The
$140 million future I-74 Winston Salem Beltway project includes a seven
mile stretch of six lane divided facility the beltway from University
Parkway to Old Walkertown Road. The project also includes new bridge
structures, drainage, overhead signs, and ITS devices.
The three
new segments (U-2579D, E and F) are part of the planned 34 mile
semicircle around the northern side of Winston-Salem. Once completed,
the beltway is expected to reduce traffic congestion, provide better
regional connectivity, and provide residents with improved access to
jobs, educational opportunities, and area services.
Design is expected to begin soon with construction beginning mid-2019. Completion is anticipated in late 2021.
