Project Overview

NCDOT is proposing to put a roundabout at the intersection of Fire Department Road, Little Divine Road and Buffalo Road in Johnston County. This project would improve traffic flow and reduce crash severity by replacing two existing intersections which are less than 400 feet apart with a roundabout.
