PLYMOUTH – The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting for a proposed project to improve a section of Morrattock Road in Washington County.
The meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Nov. 5 at the Roanoke River Maritime Museum, 206 West Water St., in Plymouth.
The project will upgrade Morrattock Road between Long Ridge Road and N.C. 45/32 to improve safety and mobility. The project proposal calls for widening the existing Morrattock Road from 10-foot lanes with 1-foot shoulders to 12-foot lanes with 5-foot shoulders. The project also includes two alternatives for realigning Morrattock Road at its eastern end.
Project details and maps can be found on NCDOT’s project input website at
publicinput.com/morrattock-road-plymouth. The information will be available at the meeting allowing for one-on-one discussions with NCDOT staff, but there will be no formal presentation.
