WAXHAW, N.C. — Construction on a road realignment and traffic signal project at the intersection of Pine Oak Road and Waxhaw-Marvin Road is scheduled to begin Monday.
The project is managed in coordination with the Town of Waxhaw and the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Construction is expected to take approximately seven months to complete, weather permitting.
What’s changing
Pine Oak Road and Waxhaw-Marvin Road currently meet at a sharp-angled T-intersection controlled only by a single stop sign for drivers turning from Pine Oak Road onto Waxhaw-Marvin Road.
The project will realign the roads so they meet at a perpendicular angle, add turn lanes on all three approaches to the intersection and install a new traffic signal.
What drivers can expect
Pine Oak Road and Waxhaw-Marvin Road will remain open to traffic throughout construction with no planned detours. Most of the work will take place adjacent to the existing roadway, behind construction barriers, before traffic is shifted onto the new alignment.
Drivers may encounter occasional traffic shifts and short-term lane closures as work progresses. Construction will take place during daytime hours only, unless otherwise approved by the Town of Waxhaw and the North Carolina Department of Transportation and driveway access for nearby residents will be maintained throughout the project.
The project has a target completion date in spring 2027.
