Beginning Tuesday, N.C. Department of Transportation contract crews will start an $844,000 project to replace the bridge on Bethany Road over Town Creek.

The existing bridge, built in 1954, will be replaced with a 70-foot long cored slab structure. The contractor, National Bridge Builders LLC out of Kernersville, will have until the end of September to complete the replacement.

A posted detour will be in place for drivers along U.S. 52, Springdale Road, Austin Road and Old Salisbury Road.
