Title
Request for Support: Interstate Designation for US 264
Shelby Powell, MPO Staff
Body
NCDOT has requested support from CAMPO in their request to FHWA for consideration of a future interstate designation for US 264 from Zebulon to Greenville. This interstate would serve to connect both the Triangle area and Greenville to I-95. Approximately three miles of the 56-mile request fall within CAMPO’s planning area. The portion of proposed Future I-595 from I-95 to the I-795 interchange with US 264 is currently identified as I-795, a previously approved interstate section. East of the I-795 interchange, proposed Future I-595 is a controlled access, divided, multi-lane facility, but is not built to interstate standards with the primary deficiencies being paved shoulder widths and structure clearances.
Requested Action: Action Consider adoption of a resolution of support for NCDOT’s request to FHWA for future interstate designation for US 264.
