Project Overview
The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to construct a bridge on New Hope Church Road (S.R. 2034) over the CSX S-line railroad. This bridge will replace the existing at-grade crossing.
Project History
This project was studied under the Southeast High-Speed Rail (SEHSR) project. The initial environmental analysis is covered under the Federal Railroad Administration’s 2015 Final Environmental Impact Statement and 2017 Record of Decision. The NCDOT Rail Division is analyzing the changes thereof to the project design and any potential environmental impacts. A public meeting was held for this project in March 2017.
Proposed Design Changes
The 2017 public meeting maps showed New Hope Road and the proposed bridge being shifted approximately 100 feet south of the existing crossing.
Design Change #1: New Hope Church Road and proposed bridge shifted to existing alignment.
On the north side of New Hope Church Road, east of the crossing, the 2017 public meeting maps proposed the extension of the existing shopping center driveway to connect New Hope Church Road.
Design Change #2: A new driveway access road to the shopping center, through the Quality Oil property, north of New Hope Church Road on east side of crossing, is now proposed.

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.
