The N. C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will hold an informal public meeting regarding
the proposed widening/extension of Big Mill Farm Road/Hopkins Road from Business 40 to
West Mountain Street in Forsyth County.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 from 4 to 7 p.m. at East Forsyth
Middle School- Cafeteria, 810 Bagley Drive in Kernersville. A short presentation about the
planning process and project schedule will be given at 5 p.m. Citizens may drop in at any time
from 4 to 7 p.m.
The purpose of this project is to reduce congestion in downtown Kernersville, South Main
Street, and other area roads. It will also improve mobility and access to major highways, and
accommodate economic development expansion within the area, and complete a portion of
proposed Kernersville Boulevard.
The purpose of this meeting is for NCDOT representatives to gather public input through
workshop style activities, provide information, and answer questions regarding this project.
Interested citizens may attend at any time during the above mentioned hours. The project team
will ask about current issues for those who live in or travel through the area and, about how the
community currently uses Hopkins Road and Big Mill Farm Road. We will brainstorm with you
