Balfour Beatty wins $36M North Carolina highway project

Award: Junction reconstruction of state Route 87 and Route 11
Value: $36 million
Location: Near Sandyfield, North Carolina
Client: North Carolina DOT

Balfour Beatty has won an approximately $36 million contract from the North Carolina DOT to reconstruct the junction of state Route 87 and Route 11, according to an announcement the company shared with Construction Dive this week.

The project will take place near Sandyfield, which is northwest of Wilmington, in the state’s southeast corner.

Balfour Beatty will build a grade-separated interchange, which will carry Route 11 over Route 87 and improve safety and mobility in Columbus County by shifting traffic onto a newly constructed bridge, according to the release.

The contractor will also build on and off ramps to connect the two highways. The improvement project will feature widened four lanes.

“This highway is an important corridor in southeastern North Carolina and a popular route to area beaches,” said Drew Cox, North Carolina DOT Division 6 engineer, in the release. “The new interchange will vastly improve the safety, traffic flow and operation of this junction.”

This is at least the third project Balfour Beatty has won in North Carolina this year.

In February, the company landed a $242.35 million design-build contract to improve the U.S. Highway 70 corridor, the future Interstate 42, between Raleigh and the Port of Morehead City to interstate standards. And in April, a JV led by Balfour Beatty won a $650 million contract for improvements to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Construction is expected to begin this summer with anticipated completion by the summer of 2026.
