2 <br /> 2) Intersection Improvements - Eno Mountain Road at Orange Grove Road - create <br /> south bound left and right turn lanes along Eno Mountain Road at Orange Grove <br /> Road. There's considerable stacking of vehicles waiting to turn in either <br /> direction. Conversion to a curb and gutter section along the south or west side of <br /> Eno Mountain Road would be a bonus. This intersection sees significant peak <br /> hour traffic. The delay for left turns impacts those wanting to turn right. The <br /> addition of a turn lane would buy some time and capacity until Eno Mountain <br /> Road can be realigned with Mayo Street. <br /> 3) Safety Improvement - New NC 86 at 1-85 — incorporate a turn-lane so that <br /> southbound traffic on NC 86 can make the northbound turn onto 1-85. There may <br /> be enough room to create a lane between the bridge and the existing traffic <br /> islands. If not, room for the turn lanes could be obtained by shifting the traffic <br /> islands and 1-85 exit and on ramps to the south. <br /> 4) Intersection Improvements - Churton Street/NC 86 at US 70 Bypass — extend <br /> existing slip lane on NC 86/Churton Street to better accommodate right turns to <br /> head east on US 70 Bypass. This may involve some minor road <br /> widening. Presently, northbound vehicles stopped at the traffic light quickly stack <br /> beyond the existing right turn slip lane preventing access to anyone attempting to <br /> head eastbound on US 70 Bypass. <br /> Intersection improvements at NC 86 and US 70 will be submitted to NC BOT for final <br /> approval. More information will be provided as the project progresses. <br /> 2 <br />
