Road work alert: Vernon Avenue resurfacing begins July 10 in Kinston

Beginning Monday, July 10, road resurfacing will start on Vernon Avenue in Kinston, from Sycamore Avenue to NC 11. Motorists are urged to use caution, even if workers are not actively present in the work zone.

Drivers should expect possible lane or shoulder closures, traffic shifts, and reduced speed limits throughout the project area. These conditions may impact normal travel.

Work Zone Safety Reminders:

  • Stay alert and watch for work zone signs and flaggers

  • Avoid tailgating and obey posted speed limits (fines for speeding in work zones can be $250)

  • Do not change lanes in the work zone

  • Eliminate distractions and watch for unexpected obstacles or equipment

  • Consider alternate routes or traveling during off-peak hours to reduce delays

Your patience and attention help keep both workers and drivers safe.
