Chamber urges NCDOT to move ahead with Havelock
Bypass
Posted on September 21. 2015
The Chamber has submitted comments to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT),
urging the NCDOT to build the US 70 Havelock Bypass along the preferred route. (The Havelock
Bypass is NCDOT Tip Project No. R-1015.)
"US 70 is central to Carteret County's transportation network, and the Chamber advocates
improvements to the US 70 corridor between Raleigh and Carteret County to eventually result in a
limited or restricted access thoroughfare that is designed to move traffic more efficiently and with
greater safety," said Mary Carlyle Brown, who is Chair of the Public & Government Affairs Committee.
She said: "Construction of the Havelock Bypass will be one more step forward in the coordinated effort
toward elevating US 70 to the status as a`Future Interstate,' as is specified in `The Military Corridor
Transportation Improvement Act,' now under consideration in the U.S. Congress, to ensure superior
transportation facilities from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point to the Port of Morehead City."
The Chamber fully endorses and supports the design and construction of the Havelock Bypass on
NCDOT's "Preferred Alternative" route, because it is the least costly alternative, has the fewest
number of relocations of existing structures and is the least harmful to the environment and the
Croatan National Forest.
