Though the construction of I-40 provides a much-improved highway system for <br /> southwest Durham, Chapel Hill and Carrboro, some problems are expected. Since <br /> that freeway has relatively few interchanges to serve large areas along its <br /> length, access at those few points is anticipated to become increasingly congested <br /> with time. Though additional access points are projected to be necessary, every <br /> interchange along the I-40 corridor may be the subject of intense development <br /> pressure for many years in the future, particularly proposed ones serving <br /> presently rural areas. <br /> Adjustments To The Adapted mare Plans1 <br /> Several of the thoroughfares included in Durham's 1980 Thoroughfare Plan and the <br /> 1984 Chapel Hill-Carrboro Plan have had minor adjustments in alignment in <br /> response to changes in land use, environmental or social concerns, or to accommo- <br /> date development in a more efficient manner. These revisions in the adopted plans <br /> include: <br /> South Roxboro Street Extension - through Hope Valley Farms <br /> Southern Parkway - NC 55 to Alexander Drive <br /> Obie Drive - Removed from plan <br /> Briggs Avenue Extension - section south of Ellis Road removed from plan <br /> Cornwallis-Lynn Connector - Riddle Rd. to US 70 <br /> Eno Drive - NC 98 to US 70 , and Hillandale Rd. to 1-85 <br /> Lynn Road - NC 98 to Cheek Rd. <br /> Alston Avenue Extension - I-85 to Old Oxford Highway <br /> Camden Avenue - removed from plan <br /> • <br /> Carver Street Extension - Roxboro Street to Old Oxford Highway <br /> NC 54-Homestead Road Connector - removed from plan and replaced by <br /> Bethel Hickory Grove Church Rd.-Eubanks Rd. Connector. <br /> 1 The revisions are described in the Recommended Plan section of this report. <br /> 4.2 <br />
