York County Council approved a contract Monday night with United of Carolinas, Inc. out of Charlotte to make it easier to turn left at Carowinds.
Almost $620,000 will go to two left turn lanes on Carowinds Boulevard and widening of Festival Drive. Funds come from a designated development district set up for road projects in the tourism-rich Carowinds area.
The improvements follow a reconfigured exit at Carowinds a season ago. The theme park opens March 25.
