RALEIGH, N.C. -

They are two of the bumpiest roads in Raleigh, but now Wade and Glenwood Avenues will being resurfaced.

The State Department of Transportation opened up bids for the Glenwood project Tuesday.

Next month the NCDOT will accept bids for Wade.

State transportation officials said in previous years there were too many cracks in the budget to pave the roads.

"We would ideally like to be resurfacing roads between a 12- to 15-year cycle," Wally Bowman, DOT Division Engineer, said. "There's just not enough money to do all the roads during that cycle."

This year the state is using its regular allotment of repaving money to fund the Glenwood project, while Wade Avenue is being funded through federal stimulus dollars.

"Our funds are pretty good right now as far as resurfacing," Bowman said. "Not as much as we need for all the many roads across North Carolina, but the stimulus money helped us."

Officials hope to have the roads completed by June of next year.
