NCDOT Streets

P: (336) 570-6833

All of the streets with in the Burlington corporate limits are divided into two categories for ownership and maintenance. Many arterial streets including the major highways are maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The remaining streets are maintained by the City. Each governmental jurisdiction controls access to their respective streets from abutting properties. All activities such as the installation of utilities (encroachments) within respective rights-of-way are also governed by NCDOT or the City. This is true whether the utility is installed above ground on poles or underground.

It may generally be assumed that permission is required through permits, etc. for all activities that will be conducted within City or NCDOT right-of-way.
