RALEIGH – The N.C. Department of Transportation is seeking public input on a proposal to widen Poole Road from Barwell Road to Hodge Road.
The proposed improvements would expand Poole Road from two lanes to four lanes and include a center median to separate traffic traveling in opposite directions. It's intended to address the ongoing growth and increasing travel demand throughout the corridor by reducing future traffic congestion, improving roadway operations, and supporting anticipated development.
A public meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Sept. 28 at the Barwell Road Community Center at 5858 Barwell Park Drive in Raleigh. The informal meeting will be an opportunity for individuals to look at preliminary design maps, talk to the project team and submit comments.
Project details and maps can be found on the NCDOT public input website, where questions or comments may be submitted to the project team. People may also submit comments by Oct. 12 by calling 984-205-6615 (enter project code 11037); emailing poole-barwell-hodge@publicinput.com; or mail to S. Reid Davidson, P.E., NCDOT Project Manager at 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham N.C. 17704.
NCDOT will provide auxiliary aids and services under the Americans with Disabilities Act for disabled people who wish to participate in this workshop. Anyone requiring special services should contact Aleksandra Djurkovic, Environmental Analysis Unit, at 1598 Mail Service Center in Raleigh; 919-707-6024; or andjurkovic@ncdot.gov as early as possible so that arrangements can be made.
