PITTSBORO – Plans to widen a section of U.S. 15-501/Hillsboro Street on the north side of Pittsboro will be the focus of a public meeting set for next week.
The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes to widen about 1.4 miles of the road from two lanes to three with a continuous center turn lane between Launis Street and Powell Place Lane.
The plan also calls for a sidewalk on the west side of Hillsboro Street, a multi-use path on the east side, and intersection improvements at Park and Springfield drives and at Cooper’s Ridge Road.
They will also be available for review at the informal public meeting set for Tuesday, June 18, from 4-7 p.m. Forest Hall at the Chatham Mills facility located at 480 Hillsboro St.
NCDOT representatives will be there to discuss the project and receive feedback that will be considered as it progresses. Comments may also be submitted by phone or email by July 5.
For more information or to submit feedback, contact NCDOT project manager Jeffrey Teague at 910-773-8025 or jlteague@ncdot.gov.
