Project Overview
There are two railroad tracks at the Hilltop Road crossing. The proposed project will raise the grade of Hilltop Road to bridge over the railroad, thereby improving train and vehicular safety in the project area.
The proposed project will reduce the potential for collisions at the crossing as roadway and rail traffic volumes increase in the future. In 2016 there was an average of approximately 15,000 vehicles per day at this crossing.
Project Funding
This project is listed as Project No. P-5713 in the N.C. Department of Transportation's State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and is funded for $7.2 million.
