Tobaccoville officials say Northern Beltway, paving contracts will affect village planning
Summary
Administrators told the council they met with NCDOT about the Northern Beltway and reported that Spainhour Mill Road and Tobaccoville Road paving has been contracted, with work expected within 18 months; PARTF reimbursement request #5 was also filed.
Mayor Myron Marion convened the Village of Tobaccoville council on July 3, 2025, where administrators reported progress on transportation projects and state-level coordination that could affect the village.
Administrator Lori Shore told the council that she and Administrator Dan Corder met with John Rhyne of the North Carolina Department of Transportation to review the status of the Northern Beltway and the potential impacts on Tobaccoville. Shore said the meeting focused on project timelines and anticipated effects the beltway could have on local traffic patterns and rights-of-way; specific outcomes for the village were not specified in the minutes.
Shore also reported that paving contracts have been awarded for Spainhour Mill Road and Tobaccoville Road and that the work is expected to take place within the next 18 months. "The paving will take place within the next 18 months," the minutes state, without further detail on contractors, exact start dates or funding sources.
On financing, Shore told the council that reimbursement request #5 has been filed with the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) related to Village Park Phase II work. The minutes note PARTF requirements and a completion deadline for grant-funded work (see related Park Phase II coverage).
The council did not take additional formal action on the beltway discussion at the meeting; administrators were directed to continue coordination and to report back as details become available.
