 Macy Grove Road Improvements Environmental Assessment - Public Input
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the Winston-Salem Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) are seeking public comments on the Environmental Assessment for the Macy Grove Road Improvements project until December 30, 2010.
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) project U-2800 proposes to widen Macy Grove Road to multi-lanes, extending the roadway on new location from Old Greensboro Road to north of Old US 421/ E Mountain Street, and converting a grade separation at I-40 Business/US 421 to an interchange. Grade separations are also proposed on new location crossing the Norfolk Southern Railroad and Old US 421/E Mountain Street. TIP project U-4734 proposes to extend Macy Grove Road on new location from north of Old US 421/E Mountain Street to NC 150 (N Main Street).
The primary purpose of the project is to provide a roadway link between I-40 Business/US 421 and NC 150 (N Main Street) north of Kernersville.
