A deal between Fort Bragg and North Carolina’s Department of Transportation will help get the military installation’s road system improved as quickly as possible.
FORT BRAGG, NC – MAY 13: A sign shows Fort Bragg information May 13, 2004 in Fayettville, North Carolina. The 82d Airborne Division was assigned here in 1946, upon its return form Europe. In 1951, XVIII Airborne Corps was reactivated here and Fort Bragg became widely known as the “home of the airborne.” Today Fort Bragg and neighboring Pope Air Force Base form one of the largest military complexes in the world.

A deal between Fort Bragg and North Carolina's Department of Transportation will help get the military installation's road system improved as quickly as possible.
In a statement to the U.S. Army, Fort Bragg Garrison officials noted that they've heard Army families and they're working on the road repairs and upgrades.
NCDOT will now handle all aspects of road work, from planning to picking workers, and it's expected to save the base 40-60 percent on costs.
The partnership means double the amount of street work will be completed in less time. Work starts on King Road this April. Workers will finish the whole thing, split into three parts, by October 2025.
Part one shuts down King Road from Plank to Morganton. Next comes Manchester Road's closure between Morganton and Lamont. The final push adds fresh pavement to Manchester, Morrison Bridge, and Morganton Roads.
Various other locations are waiting for funding to start repairs, including Honeycutt Road, Gruber Road, and Ardennes Street.
Updates are available on Fort Bragg's website and the MyArmyPostApp.
