The Town of Beaufort began improving its infrastructure in 2018, starting with a street assessment. This assessment highlighted streets needing resurfacing or more complex repairs. Recently, funds have been directed towards resurfacing nine roads in the 2023 Street Rehabilitation Project.

This week, resurfacing started on Joyce Blvd. and Fairview Drive, reducing traffic to one lane and causing detours. The work will affect several streets over the coming weeks, including Moore, Pollock, and Marsh Streets.

Residents and visitors will face temporary issues like limited parking. These disruptions are part of the town's efforts to upgrade its roads, with the current phase expected to finish by early August. More extensive work, funded by a USDA project, will start in July and continue for several years.
