North Carolina Department of Transportation contract crews will close the bridge on Greedy Highway over Jacob Fork next week to start a $1.7 million replacement project. Contractor R.E. Burns and Sons Co., Inc. of Statesville earned the contract to remove and replace the existing structure starting Monday, August 28.

During the closure, drivers will be detoured using N.C. 10, N.C. 127, Old Shelby, and Providence Church roads, returning to Greedy Highway. The project is anticipated to be complete in spring 2024.
