NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING FEB. 25 IN ASHEVILLE FOR
THE PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF THE
I-26 AND N.C. 191 (BREVARD ROAD) INTERCHANGE
TIP Project No. I-5504
The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting in February
regarding the proposed project to modify the interchange at I-26/N.C. 191 (Brevard
Road) in Buncombe County. The purpose of the meeting is to present a new design
option developed by NCDOT as a result of public input received at last April's public
meeting.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014, at The North Carolina
Arboretum, located at 100 Frederick Law Olmsted Way in Asheville. It will be held in
the Auditorium of the Education Center from 4 to 7 p.m: The typical entry fee charged
by the N.C. Arboretum has been waived for anyone who attends the public meeting.
Inform the guard at the Arboretum entrance that you are attending the meeting.
Interested individuals may attend this public meeting at any time during the
above hours. NCDOT representatives will display maps and be available to answer
questions and receive comments. Comments and information received will be taken into
consideration as work on the project develops. Please note that there will not be a
formal presentation.
The purpose of the project is to alleviate congestion at the interchange by
increasing the interchange's efficiency. The need for the project is to address lengthy
backups along the I-26 exit ramps in the future. This project will require the acquisition
of additional right-of-way. The project will re-route traffic along Rocky Ridge Road and
portions of Wedgefield Drive.

Development and Environmental Analysis Unit at 1548 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
