NC 73 Small Project Scoping Update - June 2014

This update outlines the scoping process for small projects along NC 73, addressing ongoing congestion and safety issues at key intersections. Important steps include evaluating intersections, determining cost estimates, confirming project sponsors, and monitoring project schedules. The joint effort by NCDOT, local governments, and MPOs focuses on utilizing locally controlled funds for projects under $5 million. An evaluation of 36 intersections has begun, with recommendations for improvements including new turn lanes and super-street designs. Completion timelines are set for early 2015.

  1. NC 73 Small Project Scoping Process Update June 24, 2014

  2. Background Problem • No sections of NC 73 are scheduled for widening before 2025 (pre-STI) • New NCDOT project ranking and funding formula focuses on statewide-tier corridors • Continued congestion and safety issues at specific sections of corridor Strategy • Take advantage of locally-controlled construction funds (CMAQ, STP-DA, Division, and local governments) • Joint NCDOT/MPO/local government project identification and scoping process for small (0-$5 million) projects Next Steps • Complete evaluation of all intersections • Develop cost estimates and eligible funding sources • Confirm project sponsors • Monitor project solicitation schedules Participants • Linda Dosse, David Keilson, Scott Cole, and Mike Reese (NCDOT) • Justin Carroll and Bill Coxe (Huntersville) • Andrew Bryant (Lincoln County) • Hank Graham (GCLMPO)

  3. Growth has been uneven over past decade

  5. Grouping for Analysis Group 1 Group 3 Group 2 Group 4 2B 2A

  6. Results to Date • Group 1 (Lincoln County) intersections evaluated • Recommended improvements a mix of new turn lanes, extending existing turn lanes, super-street, and limited multi-lane expansion • Some intersections were recommended for no short-term improvements • Groups 2 and 3 (Mecklenburg County) intersections evaluated in person and via Google Earth
