NCDOT project updates: entrance lights, crosswalks and bridge replacement progress noted
Summary
Minutes record NCDOT work on a main entrance traffic signal and pedestrian crossings, Zachary Construction's bridge replacement at ~28% progress, piling and flyover supports underway, and Russ Avenue utilities at about 30% complete under Buchanan Construction.
Minutes from the Nov. 11 Junaluska Assembly Community Council meeting summarized progress on several North Carolina Department of Transportation projects affecting Lake Junaluska.
The materials list a planned main entrance traffic light and pedestrian crossings at the Golf Course Road and Holston Village roads; a tentative start date for some utility work was described as possibly beginning in December and further work referenced for May 2026. The Holston Village crossing was reported by a public commenter as not yet functional and that repainting of a crossing marking is planned.
The NCDOT bridge replacement project handled by Zachary Construction was noted in the minutes as roughly 28% complete; work described includes jack-and-boring activities and piling for a temporary bridge and flyover, with follow-on steps to set supports for the bridge. Russ Avenue work (exit 102/Main Street), with Buchanan Construction named in the minutes, was described as roughly 30% complete and involving substantial utility work.
The minutes indicate monthly coordination meetings will continue during the four-year project. No closure dates or detour schedules were recorded in the Nov. 11 minutes.
