Construction to extend C.F. Harvey Parkway (N.C. 148) north of Kinston is complete and the section of roadway is expected to open next week.

The roadway is expected to open to traffic Monday morning.

Work on the extension of this highway began in 2018 and is opening to traffic six months ahead of schedule.
