The next US-70 Corridor Commission meeting will be held on April 16 in Smithfield. As you can probably guess by now, there still hasn't been any updates to their meetings & reports archive.
According to a paywalled article in The Mount Olive Messenger (part of Goldsboro News-Argus), the Country Club Road interchange on US-117 (Future I-795) near Mount Olive will open in early April, weather pending.
As part of the Harvey Parkway extension project in Kinston, the Humphrey Road intersection on NC-58 will close permanently on Feb. 24. Humphrey Road will be cul-de-sac'ed near NC-58.
During last Monday's meeting, the Lenoir County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to pick Alternative 1SB (Shallow Bypass) as their preferred alternative for the US-70 Kinston Bypass.
Mr. Eversole also entered a few big-ticket projects into the scoring system to bring the committee back some preliminary cost estimates. He said a northern Carteret bypass to tie in to the future Interstate 42 would cost upwards of $447 million, while the cost of a third Bogue Banks bridge could range from about $233 million to more than $710 million.
The county has requested NCDOT carry out feasibility studies for both the bypass and the third bridge, and Mr. Eversole recommended waiting until the results of those studies before going forward with the projects.
The contract for converting the Wilson's Mills Road and Swift Creek Road intersections into interchanges in Johnston County will be awarded in September.
