56 <br /> US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study <br /> The lack of western access at the 1-85 Connector also represents a lack of connectivity, forcing traffic to use <br /> indirect routes on minor roads with at-grade rail crossings through Efland, or to continue eastward on US 70 <br /> through Hillsborough. This is a particularly noticeable problem for truck traffic. <br /> The proximity of the rail line to US 70 along the western portion of the corridor limits connectivity to the <br /> south, while trains at at-grade rail crossings introduce temporary restrictions to connectivity. <br /> 4.3.8 Future Conditions <br /> Future year(2050) evaluations of traffic operations were conducted for both the corridor segments as well as <br /> the intersections included in the existing conditions analysis. Future traffic volumes were determined based on <br /> growth projections derived from the Triangle Regional Travel Demand Model. Table 11 and Table 12 <br /> summarize the 2050 projected operations for the evaluated corridor segments and intersections, respectively; <br /> these results assume no additional capacity improvements or multimodal initiatives to the corridor or <br /> localized intersections. As shown in the future year analysis results, degradation of both the corridor level and <br /> intersection level operations are expected throughout the corridor, indicating a need for improvement.This is <br /> due to generalized growth in the area as well as taking into account planned future economic growth drivers <br /> such as expected growth detailed in the Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan (2019). It should <br /> be noted that the major improvement of US 70 (ie, widening from two to four lanes) is considered to be an <br /> assumed future year project based on proven need for additional capacity. It is not a recommendation of this <br /> study to widen the corridor, rather, the recommendations identified in Chapter 5 are meant to guide the <br /> incorporation of multimodal facilities alongside and into such future projects. <br /> Table 11 2050 Corridor Level of Service Summary for US 70 Using Two-Lane Highways Analysis <br /> Segment AM Peak PM Peak <br /> Segment Segment Location Length <br /> (miles) Segment Segment <br /> LOS LOS <br /> A Supper Club Rd to Mace Rd (EB/WB) 1.7 E/E E/F <br /> B Buckhorn Rd to Efland-Cedar Grove Rd (EB/WB) 3.9 E/D D/E <br /> C East of US 70 Connector to Hillsborough Border(EB/WB) 1.4 E/D E/E <br /> E US 70 Bus to Pleasant Green Rd (EB/WB) 2.2 C/E E/C <br /> 47 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
