2024 TS helene - replace non-nbis pipe E4030 for roaring spout branch under NC80 in yancey CO. Replace pipe and reconstruct and stabilize roadway

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the North Carolina Department of Transportation $310,500 on June 4, 2026, under the Emergency Relief Program (CFDA 20.271) to replace a damaged non-NBIS pipe on NC 80 carrying Roaring Spout Branch in Yancey County and reconstruct adjacent roadway sections.

Hurricane Helene floodwaters damaged the existing pipe and roadway. The project replaces the pipe with a larger 78-inch diameter structure fitted with headwalls, buried approximately one foot deep over an overall length of 33.3 feet. The award also funds reconstruction of headwalls and stabilization and reconstruction of adjacent roadway sections to restore proper hydraulic flow, ensure adequate drainage, and address structural deficiencies that compromise roadway safety and performance.

Performance occurs in North Carolina, USA. The period of performance extends through October 1, 2034.

Project description

Replace non-nbis pipe E4030 on NC 80 carrying roaring spout branch. The pipe and roadway sections were damaged by hurricane helene floodwaters. The existing structure will be replaced with a larger (78-INCH) pipe with headwalls. The replacement pipe will be buried approximately one foot with an overall length of 33.3 feet. This project also includes reconstruction of headwalls and the stabilization and reconstruction of adjacent roadway sections to restore proper hydraulic flow. The project is needed to restore adequate drainage and address structural deficiencies that compromise roadway safety and performance.
