GREENVILLE — State Transportation
officials will hold a public meeting on Thursday, March 22, to show three
proposed alternatives for converting the intersection of U.S. 70 and Jim
Sutton/Willie Measley roads in La Grange into a highway interchange.
The project, which would replace an intersection that now has a
traffic signal with an interchange with bridges and ramps, would improve safety
and traffic flow.
The public can view the design alternatives and other materials
about the proposal on the NCDOT
website.
The meeting will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the La Grange
Community Center, 410 E. Washington St., Interested residents may attend at
any time during the meeting, as no formal presentation will be made. NCDOT
representatives will be available to provide information and answer questions.
The opportunity to provide written comments will also be provided.
The public also may submit written comments on the proposal through
April 12. For additional information, contact NCDOT Division 2 Project Engineer
Robbie Taylor at rltaylor@ncdot.gov or (252) 439-2806.
