The purpose of the project is to increase traffic capacity and operational improvements to accommodate projected traffic volumes.The project will also replace the functionally obsolete
Albemarle Road bridge.As a secondary benefit,the project will improve traffic safety by limiting conflict points along the U.S.64 corridor within the project limits.
4i.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The proposed project will increase the capacity and improve mobility and connectivity within the study area.The mainline US64 will be widened to a 4-lane facility with a variable width
median.The proposed improvements will limit left turning vehicles through superstreet design.The project will also upgrade the N.C.49/U.S.64 interchange,including replacing the
Albemarle Road bridge,and the I-73/1-74/U.S.220 interchange with U.S.64 and Albemarle Road to meet current design standards and improve mobility,connectivity,and safety in the
study area.The proposed project will widen approximately 1.1 miles of U.S.64 from a three-lane section to a four-lane median divided roadway between the Asheboro Bypass and the
existing four-lane median divided section east of the Albemarle Road Bridge No.171.The widening will occur to the south of the roadway,primarily within existing right of way.The total
project length is 2.26 miles.Typical road building equipment will be used including cranes,bulldozers,dump trucks,etc.
