PROJECT DESCRIPTION
TIP Project R-2507A is included in the 2007-2013 Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP). The project involves widening US 13-158 to a multi-lane facility from US 158 near
Winton in Hertford County to US 158 in Tarheel in Gates County, a distance of approximately
five miles (see the attached vicinity map). Proposed improvements include four 12-foot travel
lanes, a 46-foot median and 8-foot grassed shoulders (4-foot paved).
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The right of way acquisition and construction schedule in the draft 2008-2015 TIP is:
Begin Right of Way Acquisition: State Fiscal Year 2010

Formal concurrence on the purpose of the project was reached at a NEPA/404 Merger Team
meeting held on July 19, 2007. Team members agreed on the following purpose statement for
the project: The purpose of the project is to reduce traffic congestion and improve travel time and
safety along US 13-158 in the project area.
PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
Alternatives for improvement of existing facilities have been developed for the proposed
project.
No Build Alternative
The No Build Alternative would not provide any substantial improvements to US 13-158
within the study area; only typical maintenance activities would occur. The No Build Alternative
would not meet the purpose and need of the project.

Widen Existing US 13-158
Widening existing US 13-158 would reduce traffic congestion and improve travel time and
safety along US 13-158 in the project area. The project has been divided into eight sections in
order to analyze potential impacts. These sections are:
Section 1 - US 158 to Powell Lane
Section 2 -Powell Lane to just north of SR 1128 (Barfield Road)
Section 3 -Just north of SR 1128 to approximately 0.4 mile north of SR 1128
Section 4 -Approximately 0.4 mile north of SR 1128 to NC 137/SR 1200
Section 5 - NC 137/SR 1200 to approximately 0.5 mile north of NC 137/SR 1200
Section 6 -Approximately 0.5 mile north of NC 137/SR 1200 to north of SR 1228 (Barfield
Road)
Section 7 -North of SR 1228 to north of SR 1122 (Hill Lane Road)
Section 8 -North of SR 1122 to US 158
Both east side and west side widening have been considered within each section. Figures 1-1
through 1-3 present the sections and the table below compares the impacts of east and west side
widening for each section.
