SB 217 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Funds to Repair Orphan Roads in Durham County.

This bill appropriates $500,000 in one-time state funds to Durham County for repairing and improving "orphan roads" - roads in non-municipal areas that are not maintained by either the county or the state. The funds will allow Durham County to fix these roads, enabling the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to take over their maintenance as state roads. The bill directly affects Durham County residents living on these neglected roads by improving safety and upkeep, and it changes the responsibility for road maintenance from local to state oversight. The funding becomes effective July 1, 2025.
