PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Planning and development are underway to widen and construct a new roadway from Bridges Street to northwest of McCabe Road in Carteret County. The proposed project would improve the road to a four-lane, median divided roadway with curbs, wide outside lanes, and sidewalks pending municipal approval.

The project is expected to:
Reduce congestion along U.S. 70
Provide better mobility in the area
Provide direct access to the Business Park
Improve the existing roadway to a multi-lane, median-divided facility
