COMMISSION COMPLETES REPORTS ON US 70 PILOT PROJECTS

The US 70 Corridor Commission has been working with local officials and NCDOT Division 2 staff to develop preferred alternatives for the two pilot projects be studied for the US 70/NC 11/55 Skinners Bypass intersection in Kinston and US 70 corridor in James City.  Input from all the stakeholders and the citizens who attended the public meetings have helped improve the designs.

NC 11/55 Skinners Bypass Interchange, Kinston:  
The final design will include a bridge spanning over US 70 with square loop ramps in all four quadrants.  Businesses inside the loops will have multiple entry points from the loops and signals at the intersections with NC 11/55 Old Pink Hill Road.  Auxiliary lanes will provide adequate space for accelerating onto and decelerating from US 70 freeway traffic.  Sidewalks are also included on the bridge to allow pedestrian access over US 70 to the adjacent businesses, dog park, and athletic fields.

Williams Rd. and Airport Rd. Interchanges, James City:
