Proposed Project Details
Project Description
Construct new access road and upgrade construction access road to
the Laurinburg/Scotland Industrial Site and improve US 15/501
(Aberdeen Road) from the Laurinburg and Southern Railroad
crossing south of SR 1301 (Plant Road) to a point north of the
proposed Laurinburg North Fire Station.
Project Limits Railroad crossing south of Plant Road to point north of the proposed
Laurinburg North Fire Station
Typical Section New Road – 2-lane undivided; US 15/501 – 3-lane with right turn
lanes onto new road
Access Control None
Design Speed US 15/501: 50 MPH; Access Roads: 25 MPH
Right-of-Way Width Varies
Physical or Engineering
Constraints
Rail Crossing; Loop Road Access to Adjacent Laurinburg Scotland
Industrial Site; Utilities (gas, water, sewer, electric, fiber).
Other Considerations Potential Wetland and Surface Waters; FEMA Floodplain
Survey Request Date
Design Plan Laurinburg Scotland Industrial Site Plan (01/16/2020)

Purpose & Need
Purpose
The proposed roadway improvements would provide access to the
Laurinburg/Scotland Industrial Site, while maintaining mobility in this
area along US-15/501.
Need(s)
The Laurinburg/Scotland Industrial Site in Scotland County will house
the City of Laurinburg North Fire Station and up to two industrial
operations. Fire trucks and trucks carrying supplies and products will
access and egress from the site via US 15/501. Cars carrying
employees will also need to access and egress the new industrial
park. Traffic volumes are estimated to be more than 40 trucks and
400 cars entering and leaving the site on a daily basis and are
expected to increase over time. Turn lanes along US 15/501 and
separate entrances for cars, trucks, and maintenance and emergency
vehicles are needed to maintain traffic flow along US 15/501 and
prevent conflicts.
Supporting Data
Are there any studies or other documents that demonstrate the need
for the project? For example, if the project is needed because of traffic
congestion, has a forecast been prepared?

Alternatives Currently Under Consideration
