DOT work aims to prevent Mills River flooding
North Carolina DOT engineers move quickly after flood complaints tied to a new nursing home site. Crews will replace a 15 inch drainage pipe under Route 191 with a 42 inch culvert and upgrade a Laurel Terrace pipe to two 30 inch pipes to ease overflow. Residents say rainfall and site changes worsened flooding, affecting Laurel Terrace and N.C. 191, with ongoing calls for proper ditch maintenance and drainage capacity to prevent future floods.
