Balfour Beatty has been awarded a $167 million contract by the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to construct
the U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass located in Carteret and Craven
counties. The Havelock Bypass, located at U.S. 70 from North of
Pine Grove to North of Carteret County Line, will consist of a
four-lane, median-divided highway that provides a safer, faster
alternative to traffic congestion in the area.
The project includes a balanced mix of structure and roadway
work – a sweet spot for Balfour Beatty, which has previously
completed work for NCDOT on the White Oak River Bridge replacement
and the U.S. 17 Maysville Bypass project. According to NCDOT, the
roadway will help improve traffic and freight movement along the
U.S. 70 Corridor, a major connection from the Morehead City Port to
Raleigh, and assist economic development in eastern North
Carolina’s rural areas.
“This project is a strategic fit because of our southeast region
team’s ability to self-perform both the structures and roadway
scope,” said John Rempe, PE, president and chief executive officer
of Balfour Beatty’s U.S. civil construction operations. “Our
relationship with NCDOT extends over 20 years and we look forward
to delivering another successful project for this client.”
Balfour Beatty is scheduled to begin construction in late August
with project completion in the spring of 2024.
