What is Happening at I-77 & Brawley School Road?

The Town has received several inquiries regarding the construction schedule for Phase B of the Brawley School Road Improvement Project, specifically the overpass area with I-77. While a new bridge span will be constructed to accommodate the interchange with I-77, Brawley School Road will not be closed during the construction.

According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), “Brawley School Road will not be closed other than what is allowed for night-time lane closures...Basically, phasing of the bridge consists of constructing the south side of the new interchange (half the bridge) first, then switching Brawley School Road traffic to the newly constructed bridge.” NCDOT will then “tear down the old bridge” and “build the north half of the interchange.”
