STIP PROJECT R-5705
July 27, 2017
PURPOSE OF TODAY’S MEETING
The purpose of today’s meeting is to present the proposed project corridors to the
public for review and comment (a comment sheet is attached to the back of this handout
for comments and questions). Following today’s meeting, NCDOT will review citizen
and local government comments and determine which corridors should be studied in
detail. Environmental surveys will be conducted within these corridors. NCDOT will
present the recommended corridor at a future public meeting to allow an opportunity for
citizens to comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
STIP Project R-5705 is programmed in the approved 2018-2027 North Carolina
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) as improvements to NC 55 from south
of SR 1532 (Oak Grove Church Road) in Harnett County to NC 42 in Wake County. The
proposed project is approximately ten miles long, depending on the corridor selected. The
project location is shown in Figure 1.
A multi-lane facility is proposed on new location or along the existing alignment.
It is anticipated approximately 110 feet of right-of-way will be required along the existing
alignment and approximately 150 feet of right-of-way will be required on new location to
accommodate the multi-lane facility. No control of access is proposed for improve
existing NC 55 and limited control of access is proposed for new location options.
PROJECT PURPOSE
The purpose of the project is to reduce traffic congestion and improve mobility on
the NC 55 corridor in the project area, with a goal of achieving an overall Level of
Service (LOS) D.
PROJECT STATUS/SCHEDULE
Project development studies for the proposed project are currently underway.
Corridors to be studied in detail will be selected following this meeting and detailed
environmental studies will begin on those corridors. The recommended corridors for the
2
project will be selected following the environmental studies. A public meeting will be
held to present the preferred corridor to the public.
Right of way acquisition for the project is scheduled to begin in State Fiscal Year
2020 and construction is scheduled to begin in State Fiscal Year 2022.
PROJECT COST
The most recent cost estimate for the project is as follows:
Right of Way Acquisition $9,895,000
Utility Relocation $1,187,000
Construction $38,536,000
Total Estimated Cost $50,618,000
PROJECT CORRIDORS
Three alternative corridors for the proposed project are being considered. The alternative
study corridors on new location developed for STIP R-5705 are approximately two times
wider (1000 feet) than the improved existing study corridor (500 feet) to allow room to
avoid resources within the corridor. Figure 2 presents all the corridors investigated for the
project. The table on page 4 presents a summary of the impacts.
CORRIDOR A - IMPROVE EXISTING CORRIDOR
This corridor follows the existing alignment of NC 55 from south of SR 1532 (Oak Grove
Church Road) in Harnett County to NC 42 in Wake County. Corridor A proposes to
widen existing NC 55 from a two-lane to a four-lane raised median-divided facility within
a 110-foot right-of-way (see Figure 3).
CORRIDOR B - WESTERN BYPASS
Corridor B involves constructing a roadway on new location to the west of Angier. The
proposed bypass would be constructed as a four-lane facility with a 30-foot median
within a 150 foot right-of-way (See Figure 3). Limited control of access (access only
from public roads, no driveways allowed) would be obtained for the new location. To
minimize impacts and costs, minor amounts of right of way and partial control of access
would be obtained for portions along existing roadways.
3
CORRIDOR C - EASTERN BYPASS
Corridor C would involve rerouting NC 55 to the east of Angier using a combination of
existing roads with some new location. The bypass would be constructed as a four-lane
facility with a 30-foot median within a 150 foot right-of-way (See Figure 3). Limited
control of access (access only from intersection roadways) would be obtained for new
location portions of the corridor. To minimize impacts and costs, minor amounts of right
of way and partial control of access would be obtained for portions of the bypass routed
along existing roadways.
