Residents and farmers in the northern Sampson County will see work begin soon on a bridge over the Beaverdam Creek on Old Goldsboro Road. The $632,000 project in the Newton Grove area will replace the structure, which is more than 50 years old. According to a news release from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), it will help give farmers and agricultural businesses more direct access to land. Due to weight restrictions, large or heavy vehicles with agriculture and manufactured products are prohibited from using the bridge, which adds more miles and time to daily work.
