Work has started on the Pittsboro traffic circle. A deal was reached back in the October of 2020 with Raleigh-based contractor Carolina Sunrock LLC to mill and resurface about 250 feet of asphalt around the traffic circle.

The town of Pittsboro is expected to finish construction in October of this year, weather permitting.
