Project Description:
Replace Bridge 70 on US 301 (S. Brightleaf Blvd.) over the Neuse River in Smithfield in Johnston
County. The Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.) is approximately 610 meters (2,000 ft.) long and
122 meters (400 ft.) wide. The project is State -funded and will require Federal permits. Easements
will be required.
NOTE: This project was originally submitted with a smaller A.P.E. in 2011. The A.P.E. for that
submittal was 183 meters (600 ft.) long and 46 meters (150 ft.) wide. A "No Archaeological
Survey Required" form was submitted on 9/23/2011.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The review included an examination of a topographic map, an aerial photograph, and listings of
previously recorded sites, previous archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews at
the Office of State Archaeology (O.S.A.). US 301 is oriented northeast -southwest, but is
considered east -west for this review.
The topographic map (Four Oaks) shows Bridge 70 is located in a wide river valley. The landforms
in the A.P.E. are poorly drained floodplain in the southwest and southeast quadrants, and sloped
ridges in the northwest and northeast quadrants. The landform in the northeast quadrant appears
to be a drainage valley. The land next to the bridge in the northwest quadrant appears to be an
excavated area (retention pond?). There are several large structures (warehouses?) located at the
western end of the northwest quadrant. A railroad track runs along the south side of the bridge.
The aerial photograph shows the landuse in the A.P.E. is a mix of developed, poorly -drained, and
wooded areas. Most of the northeast quadrant is occupied by a large parking lot. The southeast
quadrant is a wooded area between the road and the railroad tracks. The southwest quadrant is
wooded between the road and railroad tracks. The land south of the railroad tracks is poorly -
drained. The northwest quadrant is poorly -drained next to the river, and a parking lot at the west
end.
A review of information at the O.S.A. shows no previously recorded archaeological sites within
or adjacent to the A.P.E. The A.P.E. has not been previously surveyed for archaeological sites.

Project Tracking No.
11-08-0088
There are no projects within or adjacent to the A.P.E. that have been reviewed by the State Historic
Preservation Office (HPO).
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably
predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
The landforms within the A.P.E. have a low to moderate potential for archaeological sites. Much
of the A.P.E. is disturbed by parking lots or is poorly -drained.
