This project is included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
as Project Number U-5307
Preferred Alternative Selection
Through coordination with our federal, state, and local agency partners, the NCDOT Recommended Alternative was selected as the Preferred Alternative.
NCDOT presented the recommended alternative to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), as well as a number of other state and local agencies. Following a review of all options evaluated and an extensive evaluation of potential impacts to both the natural and human environment, the team determined that the NCDOT Recommended Alternative was the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA), or the Preferred Alternative.
See below for links to maps and showing the Preferred Alternative and materials from the June 2023 Public Hearing.
What’s Next?
NCDOT continues to evaluate avoidance and minimization measures as project designs are further developed. The project team expects to complete the anticipated FONSI, or Finding of No Significant Impact, the final environmental document, by early 2024.

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.
