Amount Requested: $6.8 million
Kannapolis, NC
Through the FHWA TCSP Account, which will go to the City of Kannapolis, North Carolina. The City of Kannopolis is committing all available resources to prepare for and support the North Carolina Research Campus. The campus will be a major economic engine for the city and this project would greatly improve accessibility to the campus. Rogers Lake Road is a major road through the Heart of Kannapolis; however, it is one of the last remaining at-grade railroad crossings left in the city. This current two lane crossing with no turn lanes causes many dangerous situations where traffic backs up over the railroad crossing and into the intersection with Ridge Ave (another major transportation route). This project will improve the at-grade crossing by adding turn lanes, realigning the roads, and installing a new signal system while improving drainage. Also the project will create an overpass for the railroad and keep traffic moving below. This project will help local, state, and federal governments to meet roadway safety standards by reducing traffic fatalities and injuries, and also reduce congestion.
