Eastern Avenue: <br /> This continuation of the alignment of Eno Drive south of I-85 North has been <br /> realigned to intersect US 70 around the Durham/Wake County line. A road is <br /> proposed to directly connect to the alignment of a road shown on the <br /> Greater Raleigh Urban Area thoroughfare plan that leads to the RDU Airport. <br /> Inner Arterial Loop: <br /> The Inner Arterial Loop from Riddle Road to Holder Road was shifted <br /> northward. This was necessary because of recent development. The new <br /> alignment follows existing Riddle Road to Ellis Road, then crosses the <br /> Durham Freeway to Glover Road and northward to Holder Road. North of NC 98, <br /> the Loop was moved westward to follow existing Princess Anne Drive. <br /> In _the vicinity of I-85, the Loop will cross Alston Avenue Extension and tie <br /> into North Roxboro Road at Old Oxford Road. <br /> Mount Moriah Road Corridor: <br /> The Mount Moriah Road corridor including an interchange with US 15/501, is <br /> _ an addition to the existing plan. Although this is presently a low volume <br /> intersection, it will be required to handle all of the development which <br /> could occur between 1-40 and New Hope Creek. In the last couple of years <br /> several large scale developments have been proposed between I-40 and New <br /> Hope Creek. The City of Durham has been reluctant to rezone property in that <br /> area until the Mount Moriah design was completed. US 15-501 is expected to <br /> carry over 90,000 cars daily in the year 2010. Overlaying these projections <br /> with the total build-out of the land adjacent to US 15/501 and 1-40, the <br /> need for a new collector road with an interchange at Chapel. Hill Boulevard <br /> became obvious. <br /> Obie Drive: <br /> Obie Drive has been removed from the plan because of the development of <br /> Woodcroft Parkway. Woodcraft Parkway is so close to the alignment of Obie <br /> Drive, it was felt that another east/west minor thoroughfare was not needed. <br /> . Woodcraft Parkway is being extended by developers eastward to Barbee Road <br /> and is proposed to tie into Carpenter Fletcher Road to connect with NC 55 <br /> eventuality. <br /> South Roxboro Street <br /> Hope Valley Farms development is building a portion of South Roxboro Street <br /> from the Southern Parkway to Hope Valley Road. The alignment was shifted <br /> so as to minimize the impact on the wetlands along Third Fork Creek, yet <br /> . provide an adequate arterial to the south. <br /> 5.3 <br />
