RALEIGH – The public is invited to a virtual presentation with the N.C. Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Town of Pittsboro and Chatham Park Investors, to discuss the proposed construction of a new road east of Pittsboro called North Chatham Park Way.
The proposed project begins at U.S. 64 just north of Suttles Road and ends near the intersection of U.S. 15-501 and Russell Chapel Church Road, covering about 2.7 miles. It will connect to the existing segment of Chatham Park Way that recently opened to traffic between U.S. 64 and U.S. 64 Business.
The northern extension of the road is intended to provide an alternate route for downtown Pittsboro traffic while continuing to support the economic development of the region. It will increase mobility options for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians.
The virtual presentation will begin at 5:45 p.m. on Jan. 7. It can be viewed or listened to using the following information.
