Roadway improvements will reduce conflict at intersections \u2014 enhancing safety and traffic-flow efficiency in the Southern Pines, Aberdeen and Pinehurst areas.<\/i><\/p>\n

The North Carolina Department of Transportation has selected Flatiron and joint venture partner Fred Smith Company for a $103.5 million project to provide necessary infrastructure improvements in preparation for upcoming U.S. Open Championships at Pinehurst Country Club.<\/p>\n

This is Flatiron\u2019s first Construction Manager\/General Contractor (CM\/GC) project with NCDOT \u2014 a time-sensitive project requiring major work to be completed between the 2024 and 2029 U.S. Open Championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Fred Smith Company and NCDOT to improve transportation flow in preparation for high profile events in the Pinehurst area,\u201d said Jim Schneiderman, Flatiron Senior Vice President for Mid-Atlantic. \u201cWe are already working with stakeholders to create the overall project plan. Going forward, we will continue to collaborate to identify innovative solutions to challenges along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

With extensive experience in collaborative delivery, Flatiron is working closely with NCDOT, Fred Smith Company and other stakeholders during the initial preconstruction phase to optimize the project\u2019s design to minimize construction risk. The complexity of coordinating with six other projects that are part of this initiative makes the CM\/GC delivery method ideal. The goal is improved construction safety, quality and efficiency \u2014 as well as higher certainty of construction cost and schedule.<\/p>\n

Construction will widen and upgrade N.C. 5, U.S. 15 \/ 501 and U.S. 1. Currently the project team is collaborating with NCDOT to develop an overall utility relocation, construction phasing and traffic management plan to maintain traffic flow and to provide access to businesses and residences throughout construction.<\/p>\n

This project is consistent with Flatiron\u2019s strategy to build on successful relationships in local markets and reinforces Flatiron\u2019s prominent infrastructure construction presence in North Carolina, adding to:<\/p>\n
