10-YEAR ROAD PLAN: What's in, what's out, what's delayed

A project that makes major changes in the city’s south gateway is shown in the NCDOT’s 2026-35 road plan for a contract letting in October 2028. The project extends White Street from Greenville Highway to Spartanburg Highway (bottom), adds a two-lane roundabout where South Main, Church and King streets merge, adds a new four-lane bridge over Mud Creek on South Main (top) and replaces the Mud Creek bridge on White Street. New roadway lanes are shown in yellow. [NCDOT MAP]
