This project will widen 5.5 miles of N.C. 105 and turn it into a divided four-lane highway from the small community of Foscoe north to the picturesque college town of Boone. The current 263-ft.-long Watauga River Bridge will be replaced to create a curved span, adding 300 feet in length and widening more than 100 ft. from the present span's 35-ft.-width to match the expansion of N.C. 105. The highway's two travel lanes will be widened to four with an added lane dedicated for turning west onto Broadstone Road and another for drivers to head east on Old Tweetsie Road.
