Project History

The corridor was initially identified for widening in the Town of Apex Comprehensive Plan (2011) and the Town of Cary 2040 Community Plan (2017). It is currently recommended for widening as Project ID A166 in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

In 2016, NCDOT began studying improvements to Ten-Ten Road, from Kildaire Farm Road in the Town of Cary to Apex Peakway in the Town of Apex.

NCDOT identified two (2) design alternatives that would meet the purpose and need for the project:

• a Conventional Widening Alternative
• Widening with Reduced Conflict Intersections Alternative (previously referred to as the Superstreet Alternative). 

In 2018, NCDOT held two (2) open-house public meetings to discuss alternatives and answer questions. Approximately 200 comments were submitted to NCDOT. Most comments that offered a preference between the two alternatives, a Conventional Widening and a Widening with Reduced Conflict Intersection (Superstreet), favored a Conventional Widening. In addition to limited public support, traffic capacity analyses indicated that the Widening with Reduced Conflict Intersection (Superstreet) alternative did not yield significant operational improvements compared to Conventional Widening. Furthermore, the associated costs, right-of-way impacts, and environmental effects were not substantially reduced. As a result, the Widening with Reduced Conflict Intersection (Superstreet) alternative was eliminated from further evaluation. 

The Conventional Widening alternative was evaluated in a State Environmental Assessment that concluded the project would not have a significant adverse impact on the human or natural environment.

In June 2019, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued. 

As a result of changes in department funding strategies, the U-5825 corridor is now three (3) separate projects. NCDOT has assigned each project a STIP number, budget, and schedule.

• U-5825A proposes to widen Ten-Ten Road from Apex Peakway to Schieffelin Road
• U-5825B proposes to reconstruct the Ten-Ten Road interchange at U.S. 1 
• U-5825C from Reliance Avenue to Kildare Farm Road.

NCDOT will advance U-5825B first to reduce congestion on Ten-Ten Road. The existing interchange operation does not meet an acceptable level of service, and operations are expected to continue declining with the projected increase in travel demand at this location. Additionally, U-5825B proposes to replace Bridge 163, which carries Ten-Ten Road over U.S. 1. The Bridge, (No. 163) was constructed in 1959 and has aging components that require replacement. The proposed improvements to the interchange will accommodate the planned future widening of U.S. 1, proposed under STIP U-6066 (currently funded for preliminary engineering only). 

 TIMELINE

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT

The NCDOT project team will review all feedback – regardless of how it is submitted (online, phone, email, or letter) – and explore options to incorporate comments and address concerns where and when feasible. 

PUBLIC MEETINGS

NCDOT held two open-house public meetings during 2018.  At each of these meetings, staff were available to discuss the alternatives and answer questions.   

Public Meeting #1 was held on March 1, 2018 at The Summit Church located at 300 Lufkin Road in Apex.  The meeting was an open-house style public meeting from 4 to 7 P.M. 

Public Meeting #2 was held on October 23, 2018.

RESOURCES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS 

Although the N.C. Department of Transportation works to minimize the number of homes and businesses displaced by a road project, it is inevitable, in many cases, that a certain amount of private property is needed. The following information explains right of way acquisition and answers questions about the process.
