The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will hold two (2)
Citizens Informational Workshops for the above mentioned highway project at the
following times and locations:
o Monday, August 29`h, 2011: 4:00 - 7:00 p.m., Kinston High School -
Cafeteria, 2601 N. Queen Street, Kinston, NC 28501

Interested individuals may attend this informal workshop any time during the
above hours. NCDOT representatives will display maps and be available to answer
questions and receive comments. Comments and information received will be taken into
consideration as work on the project develops. Please note that there will not be a formal
presentation.
NCDOT proposes to construct a new multi-lane highway which will provide two
travel lanes for each direction separated by a median. Access to this new highway will
be allowed to the main roads by intersections or interchanges. Alternatives currently
being considered will limit direct property access to this new highway. This highway is
proposed to run from U.S. 70 near LaGrange in Lenoir County to U.S. 70 near Dover in
Craven County. Additional right-of-way acquisition and the relocation of homes and
businesses will be required for this project.
The purpose of the project is to improve regional mobility, connectivity, and
capacity for U.S. 70 between LaGrange and Dover in a manner that meets the intent of
the North Carolina Strategic Highway Corridors Plan.
Anyone desiring additional information may contact Mark Pierce, Project
Development and Environmental Analysis Branch at 1548 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
