Road resurfacing project to bring delays across Leland

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — The Town of Leland is expected to begin its annual roadway resurfacing project Monday, Nov. 2, with work planned on about 5.5 miles of town-owned roads.

The project is part of Leland’s long-term roadway maintenance program, which aims to resurface up to 5% of town-owned roads each year based on a 20-year pavement life cycle.

Roads scheduled for work include portions of Enterprise Drive, Greensview Circle, Arbor Ridge Way, Suncrest Way, Maplechase Drive, Beaumont Court, Plum Leaf Court, Silver Maple Drive, Winterberry Circle, Waverly Lane, Winding Trail Drive, Rollingwood Court, Clover Field Court, Lake Breeze Court, Pebblestone Court, Meadowstone Court, Brightstone Court, Pavestone Court, Keystone Court, Sunstone Court, Wellstone Court, Westport Drive, Estuary Court, Harvester Court, Island Cove Court, Lanvale Hills Circle, Ashcroft Drive, Cape Fear National Drive and Mt. Pleasant Circle.

Work is expected to take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and continue for several months.

Drivers should expect delays and use caution in construction areas.

Town Council approved the resurfacing program as part of the fiscal year 2025-26 budget. The town later awarded a nearly $1.7 million construction contract for milling, full-depth patching where needed, asphalt overlay and new pavement markings.

Crews are also expected to install or update street signs after the resurfacing work is complete.
