Attachment 3: Draft Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) MPO Project List <br /> <br /> <br />Projects Deleted From Draft Priority List <br /> <br />Project Project Description Reason For Deletion <br />South Churton Street (Old NC 86) <br />Improvements <br />Develop congestion management, limited access, bicycle and pedestrian <br />improvements, and aesthetic and capacity improvements along South Churton Street <br />(Old NC 86/SR 1009) from I-40 to U.S. 70 Business. More specifically, the project <br />would widen South Churton Street along this segment to multiple lanes with a <br />landscaped median and would widen the railroad bridge. <br />Included in the Carryover Project List for the DCHC MPO <br />I-40 Widening from I-40/I-85 interchange to NC <br />86 <br />Widen I-40 from four (4) lanes to six (6) lanes from the I-40/I-85 interchange to the <br />interchange at NC 86. The project is recommended in the DCHC MPO MTP. Included in the Carryover Project List for the DCHC MPO <br />I-40 Widening from NC 86 to U.S. 15-501 <br />Widen I-40 from four (4) lanes to six (6) lanes from NC 86 to the Durham County line <br />(U.S. 15-501). This is a subset of the full I-40 widening project recommended in the <br />DCHC MPO MTP. <br />Included in the Carryover Project List for the DCHC MPO <br />I-85/Old NC 86 Interchange Improvements <br />Reconstruct interchange at I-85 and Old NC 86 to relieve existing and/or future <br />expected congestion on the under-capacity existing interchange, to accommodate <br />future capacity improvements to both Churton Street and I-85, and to increase <br />operational efficiency at the on-ramp/off-ramp intersections with Churton Street. The <br />new interchange would also be an opportunity to provide pedestrian and biking <br />facilities across I-85 that do not currently exist along the corridor. <br />Funded under SPOT P4.0 <br />Orange Grove Road Extension Extend Orange Grove Road from the east side of South Churton Street (SR 1009) to <br />U.S. 70 Business Funded under SPOT P4.0 <br />I-40 and NC 86 Interchange Improvements Improve interchange at I-40 and NC 86. Funded under SPOT P4.0 <br />NC 54 Operational Improvements (Orange <br />Grove Road - originally Dodsons Crossroads - <br />to Old Fayetteville Road) <br />Implement operational improvements along NC 54 from Orange Grove Road (SR <br />1006) to Old Fayetteville Road (SR 1937/1107) to address congestion, safety, <br />intersecting street turning movement delays, and the lack of usable gaps in traffic for <br />side street access to the facility as an alternative to widening the facility to four (4) <br />lanes. Improvements may involve signalization at problem intersections, additional <br />dedicated left and right turn storage at side streets, and other possible treatments. Combined into One Project and Funded under SPOT P4.0 <br />NC 54 and Orange Grove Road Intersection <br />Improvements <br />Improve NC 54 and Orange Grove Road Intersection with operational improvements, <br />including the possibility of a signal, to ease traffic congestion and long wait times for <br />left turns from Orange Grove Road onto NC 54. <br /> <br /> <br /> 19
