Traffic delays in and around<br />
Seven Lakes won‘t be getting any<br />
better now that the 211 widening<br />
project has been postponed and<br />
put on hold. NC DOT has recently<br />
announced that approximately<br />
900 highway construction and<br />
resurfacing projects including the<br />
road widening project here in West<br />
End which was scheduled to begin<br />
in 2020 are presently on hold due<br />
to financial constraints.<br />
DOT claims a deficit on a rash of<br />
storm related events including<br />
Hurricanes Florence and Matthew<br />
which took annual weather related<br />
road repairs from an average of<br />
$65 mm to an unprecedented level<br />
of approximately $220 million.<br />
How this shortfall will be corrected<br />
remains to be seen. NCDOT’s main<br />
source of funding which include tax<br />
revenues may fall short as fuel tax<br />
revenues, the biggest source for<br />
DOT’s funding, continue to decline<br />
with vehicles becoming more fuelefficient<br />
and people driving less.<br />
That won’t make closing the the<br />
gap in DOT’s shortfall very easy to<br />
correct and overcome.<br />
The lack of funding and the<br />
beginning of road widening work<br />
for the local Hwy 211 improvement<br />
project must be considered by the<br />
new golf tournaments in 2022 with<br />
the US Women’s Open and the<br />
prestigious US Open in 2024. The<br />
delay is also a consequence of the<br />
timing of these two golf events and<br />
the massive traffic flow that will<br />
transpire locally.<br />
Most important to Seven Lakes<br />
residents is the fact that the<br />
eyesore that is present to the<br />
“Gateway To Seven Lakes” which<br />
is under contract will continue to<br />
progress.<br />
The Stanley Furniture plant will<br />
be demolished and will stay on<br />
schedule until completion.<br />
