Project Description:
NCDOT has identified this project as TIP R-2577 A, B & C. Phase A will include construction of a 5.6-mile-long
segment of US 158 from its intersection with Old Greensboro Road to its intersection with Belews Creek Road
(SR 1965) in Forsyth County (anticipated contract let December 2023). Phase B will include construction of a
7.1-mile-long segment of US 158 from its intersection with Belews Creek Road in Forsyth County to its
intersection with Anthony Road (SR 2034) in Guilford County. Phase C will include construction of a 6.1-mile-
long segment of US 158 from its intersection with Anthony Road to the junction of US 158 and US 220 (1-73) in
Stockdale. Phase C will include construction of new roadway on new alignment that will create a bypass

section of existing US 158 through Stockdale. Project sections R-2577B and R-2577C are not due to let within
the next 5 years.
The proposed project includes the widening of the existing US 158 from a typical cross section of a two-lane
highway with 12-foot-wide lanes with 2-foot-wide open shoulders
to a typical cross section of US 158 will be a four -lane divided highway with two, 12-foot-wide lanes for each
direction and 2.5-foot-wide curb and gutter on the outside lanes. This widening project will utilize either an
approximately 30-foot-wide raised grass median with 1.5-foot-high curb and gutter or a depressed 34-foot-
wide grass median with two-6-foot-wide shoulder with protected turn lanes constructed within the median at
roadway intersections.
NCDOT is requesting authorization for the impacts for all three phases of construction to include a total of
1.74 acres of permanent wetland impacts and 8,022 linear feet of permanent stream impact. For Phase A,
NCDOT has completed final design and is requesting authorization to include 0.06 acre of permanent impacts
to wetlands and 1,633 linear feet of permanent impacts to streams. For Phase B NCDOT has completed
preliminary design and this phase will include 2,210 linear feet of stream impacts and 0.32-acre wetland
impacts. In addition, for Phase C NCDOT has completed preliminary design and this phase will include 4,179
linear feet of stream impacts and 1.36-acre wetland impacts. Once final design is complete for Phase B and
Phase C, NCDOT will be preparing and submitting a permit modification request (with mitigation) for these
phases.
