Work is currently being done along Peniel Road and Walker Street in Columbus as part of the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) secondary road improvement project.

The project is scheduled to be complete Nov. 30, according to the NCDOT.

The project includes widening the roadway to provide wider lanes, replacement of drainage pipes as needed, the installation of curb and gutter in some locations and resurfacing of the 0.67 miles, according to NCDOT District Engineer Steve Cannon.

The project begins at the Columbus Town Limits along Peniel Road and ends at N.C. 108/Mills Street in Columbus.
