N.C. Department of Transportation – Cedar Creek Road (NC 53)

The North Carolina Department of Transportation held a public meeting regarding proposed safety improvements on Cedar Creek Road (N.C. 53) from west of I-95 to east of I-95, Fayetteville, Cumberland County

Proposed construction:  to construct median with directional crossovers/bulb out (for U-turns), mid-block pedestrian crosswalks and refuge islands and flashing beacons and sidewalk.  The purpose of this project is to convert Cedar Creek Road (N.C. 53) to a superstreet configuration.  A superstreet intersection will allow traffic to turn left from Cedar Creek Road onto the side street but will not allow traffic from the side street to proceed straight across or turn left onto U.S. 74 directly.

*There will be right of way acquisition
