B-6050 - Improve I-95 interchanges - Johnston County
B-6050 - Improve I-95 interchanges - Johnston County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to improve three interchanges along I-95,
Pittman Road (Exit 101), East Main Street / Micro Road (Exit 102), and Bagley Road (Exit 105)
in Johnston County
Project Vicinity Map:
This map provides the location of the bridges to be replaced
Project Overview
Pittman Road (Exit 101)
Replacement of bridge over I-95
Realignment of ramps to meet current standards
Realignment of Bertie Heights Road, Seafood House Road and Batten Road (S.R. 2329), removing their connections with the I-95 exit ramps
Creation of a cul-de-sac on St. Stephens Road and Little Creek Farm Road/Windermere Road removing their connections with the I-95 ramps
Two alternatives were considered where ramps and service roads meet Pittman Road
Alternative 1
- stop signs and conventional intersections where the ramps and service roads meet Pittman Road
Alternative 2
- 5-way roundabouts connecting Pittman Road, the I-95 ramps, and the service roads
Alternative 2 was selected as the Preferred Alternative
East Main Street/ Micro Road (Exit 102)
Replacement of bridge over I-95
Realignment of ramps to meet current standards
Realignment of St. Stephens Road removing its connection with the I-95 ramp
Bagley Road (Exit 105)
Replacement of bridge over I-95
Realignment of ramps to meet current standards
The three interchange bridges are functionally obsolete. A functionally obsolete bridge can no longer meet the demands of the traffic using it. These bridges are safe but need to be improved or replaced due to narrow lanes, low height clearances or have posted weight limits.

Pittman Road (Exit 101)
Two alternatives were considered at Pittman Road
Alternative 1 proposes to use stop signs and conventional intersections where the ramps and service roads meet Pittman Road
Pittman Road (Exit 101)
The N.C. Department of Transportation has selected a modified Alternative 2 as the Preferred Alternative
Alternative 2 proposes 5-way roundabouts connecting Pittman Road, the I-95 ramps, and service roads.
The preferred alternative proposes roundabouts at the ramps on either side of a new-location overpass bridge. By constructing the overpass bridge on new location, Alternative 2 would maintain traffic on the existing bridge during construction and minimize road closures on Pittman Road.

Bridge on New Location with Roundabouts
The N.C. Department of Transportation builds roundabouts to improve safety for drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. They also help reduce the congestion and backups more typical of traditional intersections with stop signs and traffic signals. A driver generally enters the roundabout more quickly than if waiting at a traffic signal. In addition, the modern roundabout is much smaller than older traffic circles and requires vehicles to travel at lower speeds (15-20 mph), making them safer than traffic circles. Additionally, the slower speeds make it easier for a driver to find a gap of traffic inside the roundabout before safely entering it.

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.
