Proposed Projects
485/Weddington Road Interchange- This project was delayed and is now beyond the current Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
McKee Road Extension- Segment A (2.2 MB) of this proposed project will extend McKee Road from its existing terminus at Pleasant Plains Road to John Street. Segment B (1.8 MB) will lengthen it to Campus Ridge Road. Further segments will continue McKee Road to its final terminus at Independence Boulevard, near I-485.
Monroe Connector/Bypass - Design is underway. Right of way acquisition was scheduled for Spring 2011. The project has been delayed due to an injunction granted by the courts to an environmental group who said that the environmental assessment was improperly conducted. The Turnpike Authority is revising their environmental document to address the issues. We are working with Stallings, the Turnpike Authority and NCDOT on this project.
