A significant portion of Beckford Drive is being “milled and filled” according to one of the Department of Transportation workers on site. He told WIZS News the work would continue for about a week unless there were weather related issues.
If you use Beckford Drive as a cut through from Andrews Avenue to Dabney Drive, or to access Roanoke Avenue or Radio Lane from either direction, you should allow extra time or consider an alternate route through midweek next week on or about April 4th or April 5th.
Workers are not present all the time, but, when they are, there can be delays, flagmen and restrictions that allow cars to go only in one direction at the time. So far, work has been confined to normal working hours during the week.
The road construction extends from the F-V-W Opportunity driveway to just east of Parkview Drive where you enter the Vance County Regional Farmers Market.
This has nothing to do with the recent talks about widening Beckford Drive.
