Formal concurrence for alternatives to be studied in detail (Concurrence Point 2) will be requested for TIP Project R -2527 from NC 73 to SR 1550. Concurrence signatures were obtained for Concurrence Point 1 for all three projects, and signatures were obtained for Concurrence Point 2 for projects R -2530B and B -4974 at the August 12, 2008 merger meeting. This packet includes revised information. The revised impacts table and revised Figure 3 given out at the August 12, 2008 merger meeting is included in this information. Also, Figures 6E, 6L, 6M, and 6Q have been updated to show the available archaeological information in the study corridor. Figures 6N, 6R, 6S, and 6T have been reprinted to display the rare plant areas in larger detail. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) 2009 -2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) includes a highway project in Stanly County (TIP Project R- 2530B) from NC 740 in Albemarle to the west end of the Pee Dee River Bridge. Also, the TIP includes the Pee Dee River Bridge replacement project in Stanly County (TIP Project B- 4974). Furthermore, the TIP includes a highway project in Montgomery County (TIP Project R -2527) from the east end of the Pee Dee River Bridge to the Troy Bypass (TIP Project R -623) west of the city of Troy. All three projects will be studied under one NEPA study. While these projects are programmed in the TIP, no decisions have been made about the final location of the road or other alternatives to be studied. A multi -lane facility is proposed in the TIP; therefore, a four -lane median divided facility will be studied for these projects (See Proposed Typical Sections, Figure 3). The proposed projects are approximately 14.6 miles long depending on the alternative chosen. It is anticipated that 150 — 200 feet of right of way will be required to accommodate the proposed improvements.
