Derita Road Widening (U-4910)
Additional Information
A Categorical Exclusion for this project was approved and signed by FHWA on October 31,
2012 and is available upon request.
B. Project Information and Prior Project History
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project
NCDOT STIP Project U-4910 consists of widening approximately 2.6 miles of Derita Road
(SR 1445) between Concord Mills Boulevard (SR 2894) and Poplar Tent Road (SR 1394).
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve traffic flow and levels of service on Derita
Road in the project study area. Further, the project will enhance access to the Concord
Regional Airport and facilitate the development of industrial land use nodes in the study area.
Derita Road is a major corridor that connects Concord Regional Airport, Concord Mills,
Charlotte Motor Speedway and other regional land uses between the Charlotte
Metropolitan area and the City of Concord. Derita Road is currently a two-lane undivided
highway for a majority of the project’s limits and parallels I-85, providing a north / south
connection between Concord Mills Boulevard and Poplar Tent Road. Derita Road is four-lanes
between Concord Mills Boulevard and just north of the Lowes Driveway. Approximately 500
feet north of the Lowes Driveway, Derita Road transitions to a two-lane roadway and widens to
three or more lanes (including turn lanes) at the major cross streets (including Thunder Road,
Aviation Boulevard / Westwinds Boulevard, Northwinds Drive, Westmoreland Drive, and Poplar
Tent Road).
The existing 2011 average daily traffic (ADT) volumes for Derita Road along the proposed
project is 10,570 vehicles per day (vpd) and ranges from a low of 9,400 vpd on the south leg of
Derita Road and Concord Mills Boulevard intersection to a high of 11,000 vpd on the north leg
of the Derita Road and Concord Mills Boulevard intersection (located in Phase II). Derita Road
intersects with numerous roads that facilitate notable traffic volumes, including Poplar Tent
Road (16,900 to 22,000 vpd), Westwind Boulevard (1,100 vpd), Aviation Boulevard (1,700 vpd),
Thunder Road (4,900 vpd), Lowes Driveway (2,200 vpd), Christenbury Parkway (17,900 vpd),
and Concord Mills Boulevard (23,100 vpd).
The future No-Build 2035 ADT for Derita Road along the proposed project shows traffic
increasing to 13,020 vpd and ranges from a low of 11,500 vpd between Aviation Boulevard and
Jetstream Boulevard to a high of 16,100 vpd on the north leg of the Derita Road and Poplar
Tent Road intersection. Intersections with numerous roads that facilitate notable traffic volumes
also show increases in traffic volumes in 2035: Poplar Tent Road (35,600 to 45,400 vpd),
Westwind Boulevard (6,000 vpd), Aviation Boulevard (4,300 vpd), Thunder Road (10,000 vpd),
Lowes Driveway (3,200 vpd), Christenbury Parkway (23,200 vpd), and Concord Mills Boulevard
(31,600 vpd).
The future Build 2035 ADT for Derita Road along the proposed project shows traffic increasing
to a low of 24,500 vpd between Aviation Boulevard and Jetstream Boulevard to a high of 29,100
vpd between the Lowes Driveway and Concord Mills Boulevard.
Crashes along the proposed project are slightly higher than the statewide three-year crash rate
(2008-2010) for urban primary routes. Crash data was collected and analyzed for Derita Road
from Poplar Tent Road to Concord Mills Boulevard for a three-year period from March 1, 2009
to February 29, 2012. The data included crash rates, crash types, and other related crash
information. Crash rates are determined by the length of roadway, average daily traffic, and the
number of reported accidents along a route for a specific time frame.
A total of 70 crashes were reported along the 2.6-mile section of Derita Road from Poplar Tent
Road to Concord Mills Boulevard in Cabarrus County during the period from March 1, 2009 to
February 29, 2012. The total crash rate for Derita Road was 266.56 per 100-million vehicle
miles. This is slightly higher than the statewide three-year crash rate (2008-2010) for urban
primary routes, which was 217.18 per 100-million vehicle miles. Four prominent collision types
made up 68.57 percent of the total crashes along Derita Road. Of the 70 reported crashes, 13
were angle collisions; 7 were animal collisions; 7 were left turn on same roadway collisions; and
21 were rear-end slow or stop collisions. Rear-end slow or stop crash types are an indicator of
congested conditions and/or turning movements along existing Derita Road and represent the
effect such conditions can have on driver behavior. One fatal crash occurred along Derita Road
during the three-year period.
Construction of the project will be completed in two phases. Phase I will begin at Poplar Tent
Road and extend to, and include, the intersection of Aviation Boulevard prior to tapering back
to the existing two-lane section. Phase II will extend from the end of Phase I to Concord
Mills Boulevard. Currently only Phase I of this project is funded and will be constructed under
this permit. The construction date of Phase II is yet to be determined.
3e. Describe the project in detail, including type of equipment to be used.
The proposed widening of Derita Road is consistent with the classification as a major
thoroughfare. Along the project corridor, the two-lane road will be widened to four lanes with a
23-foot wide raised grass median. The typical section includes 14-foot outside lanes for shared
use with bicyclists. Curb and gutter will be added, along with sidewalks, to both sides of the
roadway. The speed limit of the proposed facility will be 45 miles per hour. There will be no
access control implemented. Medians may be provided for channelization of traffic on Derita
Road and the intersecting roadways.
Full movement intersections are anticipated to be provided at the Derita Road and Concord
Mills Boulevard intersection, the Derita Road and Aviation Boulevard NW / Westwinds
Boulevard NW intersection, and the Derita Road and Thunder Rd intersection. At the Derita
Road and Poplar Tent intersection, all movement will be permitted except left turns (as designed
for TIP I-3803B). Leftovers will be provided for other side streets as possible. Other minor
roads and driveways may be converted to right-in and right-out intersections. Full access at
these intersections is anticipated to mitigate any access issues. U-turn traffic is being
considered when designing the full access intersections.
During construction, two-way traffic will be maintained on existing streets in the project study
vicinity. Coordination will occur with local resident and business owners to maintain access to
properties during construction. The roadway will be constructed using standard roadway
construction equipment such as bulldozers, road graders, and dump trucks.
4. Jurisdictional Determination
The wetlands were delineated by AECOM in 2011. The wetland boundary was surveyed by CH
Engineering and a jurisdictional package was submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE). A Jurisdictional Determination was issued by the USACE on December 20, 2011
(2011-01493) and a North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Now NCDWR) on-site
determination was issued on October 3, 2011.
6. Future Project Plans
The project is currently divided into two sections that will be constructed in two phases.
U-4910A (Phase II) will extend from the end of Phase I to Concord Mills Boulevard. U-4910B
(Phase I) of the project begins at Poplar Tent Road, extends to, and includes, the intersection of
Aviation Boulevard prior to tapering back to the existing two-lane section. Currently, only Phase
I has funding (due to the high cost of the bridge structure in Phase II) and is anticipated to be let
in June 2015 with construction beginning in September 2015. Construction of Phase I is
anticipated to take 30 months and the let date for Phase II will hopefully be known before the
letting of Phase I. Phase II (U-4910A) is not funded at this time. Impacts associated with Phase
I only include Stream 3: 295 linear feet (lf) of permanent impacts (culvert or stabilization), and
15 lf of temporary clearing. Impacts associated with Phase II include 0.28 acre of permanent
wetland impacts (0.18 acre of fill, 0.09 acre of mechanized clearing, and 0.01 acre of
excavation) and 251 linear feet of stream impacts: 165 lf of permanent impacts and 86 lf of
temporary impacts.
Mitigation will be acquired through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program for
both phases of the project simultaneously. Though the construction phases may differ,
mitigation acquisition will not be a two phase process.

2h. Comments
There are no wetland impacts associated with Phase I of this project.
Five wetlands will be impacted in association with Phase II of this project. Wetland 1 will sustain
no impacts as a result of either phase of the project. Wetland 2 will sustain 0.02 acre of
permanent fill and 0.01 acre of permanent excavation as a result of Phase II construction.
Wetland 3 will sustain 0.08 of permanent mechanized clearing of the forested wetland and 0.02
acre of permanent fill as a result of Phase II construction. Wetland 4 will sustain 0.05 acre of
permanent fill as a result of Phase II construction. Wetland 5 will sustain 0.08 acre of fill and
0.01 acre of mechanized clearing as a result of Phase II construction. Wetland 6 will sustain
0.01 acre of permanent fill as a result of Phase II construction.

3i. Comments
Only one stream will be impacted by Phase I of this project: Stream 3. 295 linear feet (lf) of
stream will be permanently impacted. 275 lf will be placed in culvert and 20 lf will be stabilized.
15 lf will be temporarily cleared.
Two additional streams will be impacted as a result of Phase II. Stream 2 will sustain 145 lf of
permanent impacts (95 lf of culvert and 50 lf of stabilization). Stream 2 will also sustain 52 lf of
temporary clearing. The Rocky River will sustain 20 lf of permanent stabilization and 34 lf of
temporary impacts from a work pad placed in the river only during construction.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
4h. Comments
Of the 460 linear feet of permanent stream impacts, USACE requires 370’ of mitigation and
NCDWR requires 295’ of mitigation. (USACE does not require mitigation for bank stabilization,
and NCDWR does not require mitigation for streams impacted less than 150’ total).
F. Supplementary Information
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat
Federally Listed Species Potentially Occurring in Cabarrus County
Common Name Scientific NameStatus
Carolina heelsplitter Lasmigona decorata Endangered
Schweinitz’s sunflower Helianthus schweinitzii Threatened
There is no designated Critical Habitat for any Endangered or Threatened species located in the
project area.
A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal for listing the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis
septentrionalis) as an endangered species was published in the Federal Register in October
2013. The listing will become effective on or before April, 2015. Furthermore, this species is
included in USFWS’s current list of protected species for Cabarrus County. City of Concord is
working closely with the USFWS to understand how this proposed listing may impact City of
Concord projects. City of Concord will continue to coordinate appropriately with USFWS to
determine if this project will incur potential effects to the Northern long-eared bat, and how to
address these potential effects, if necessary.”
