ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PRIORITY LIST <br />2006 - 2012 DCHC MTIP <br />7: NC 86 (North of Hillsborough) .Improvements: Widen NC 86, from US 70 <br />Bypass north of Hillsborough to SR 1332, Coleman Loop (Coleman Loop also <br />being the intersection area of the planned connector between NC 86 and NC <br />57), to four lanes with intersection improvements at US 70 Bypass. NC 86 is <br />the major north-south route through Orange County. NC 57 converges into <br />US 86 just north of US 70 Bypass. The segment of NC 86 between NC 57 <br />and US 70 is congested, rendering a high accident location at the intersection <br />of US 70 Bypass at NC 86. Development pressures in this area will <br />exacerbate traffic congestion and acciden# proliferation. <br />3 <br />
