NCDOT TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING
FOR THE PROPOSED INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ON OLD LAKE ROAD (S.R. 1740)
AND CHAUNCEY TOWN ROAD (S.R. 1735)AT U.S. 74/76 AND N.C.214
COLUMBUS COUNTY
TIP PROJECT NOS.R-5819/11-5820
The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a second public meeting regarding the proposed project
to convert the intersection of U.S. 74/76 and Old Lake Road to a grade separation; the intersection of U.S.
74/76 and Chauncey Town Road to an interchange; and the intersection of N.C. 214 and Chauncey Town
Road to a roundabout. The service road was added to the proposed design based on feedback from the
public meeting held in October 2018.
The open house public meeting will take place on Thursday, May 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. at East Columbus
High School, located at 32 Gator Lane,Lake Waccamaw.
The purpose of this project is to support the upgrade of U.S. 74 to a full control of access facility. A full
control of access facility does not allow private driveway connections and requires all connections to the
facility to be via ramps at interchanges. The conversion of the U.S. 74 / Old Lake Road intersection to a
grade separation will also improve safety for nearby high school traffic by restricting direct access to and
from U.S. 74. The construction of a roundabout at the N.C. 214 intersection with Chauncey Town Road
will help facilitate the flow of additional traffic that will be diverted through Lake Waccamaw due to the
proposed changes in U.S. 74 access.
The public may drop-in at any time during the meeting hours. NCDOT representatives will be available to
answer questions and listen to comments regarding the project.The opportunity to submit written comments
will also be provided at the meeting or by email or mail by June 28. Comments received will be taken into
consideration as the project develops. Please note that no formal presentation will be made.
