M <br />Revised Gordon Thomas Drive Project Study Area <br />CROSSING #726 305F /MP H 47.62 /Greenbriar Drive (P- 4405J) <br />NCDOT DESCRIBED IMPROVEMENTS <br />This crossing serves eight residential parcels <br />located north of the railroad and provides access <br />to Old NC 10 (SR 1710). It is located along a <br />straight section of track. There is heavy foliage <br />on all four approaches to the crossing. The <br />roadway approaches are gravel, and the <br />southbound approach is slightly humped. The <br />crossing is protected by crossbucks. The <br />railroad overpasses Old NC 10 approximately <br />550 feet east of the crossing. The Greenbrier <br />subdivision abuts the Whispering Pines <br />subdivision immediately to the east which has direct access to Old NC 10 without <br />crossing the railroad. Alternative access is being considered parallel to the track to <br />connect Greenbrier Drive to Spruce Pine Trail in the Whispering Pines subdivision. A <br />new roadway will be studied in two locations: One will be from Greenbriar Drive <br />approximately 400 feet north of the railroad crossing to Spruce Pine Trail approximately <br />450 feet north of Old NC 10. The other will be from the northern end of Greenbriar <br />Drive to Spruce Pine Trial where Spruce Pine Trail turns to the east. <br />Page 13 <br />
