North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)

Unlike most states, county governments in North Carolina are not responsible for maintaining or building roads and bridges. The State of North Carolina through the N.C. Department of Transportation has responsibility of all primary and secondary roads, except for those that are privately-owned or municipal (town or city) roads. To see how a road gets built, visit the NCDOT website.
