Work at Rayford Road and Birnham Woods Drive will last through fall. (Ben Thompson/Community Impact Newspaper)
A project will widen Rayford Road to four lanes between an area 40 feet east of Waterbend Cove and approximately 400 feet east of Birnham Woods Drive. It includes creating two new eastbound travel lanes from Waterbend to the Rayford intersection with Birnham Woods and using the existing road for the westbound lanes. The project also includes constructing a traffic signal at the Rayford-Birnham Woods intersection and widening Birnham Woods to four lanes 600 feet north and south of Rayford. As of mid-April, contractors were starting pavement work for the new lanes at the Rayford-Allegro Bend intersection and work on the storm sewer along Birnham Woods north of Rayford.
