CALL TO ACTION: I-95 Widening Project Public Hearing

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will hold a series of seven (7) Public Hearings in several facilities near the I-95 corridor, throughout the state of North Carolina, beginning at 4:00pm and ending at 7:00pm. The Rocky Mount area meeting will be held:

Interstate 95 is a vital stretch of highway through North Carolina serving commuters, accommodating vacationers and connecting area residents. The road has distinctive meaning to each and every user, as well as to the adjacent communities. The NCDOT is working to determine how best to renew I-95 through our state.

The purpose of these Public Hearings is to provide information regarding the proposed project and to obtain public input. The I-95 Corridor Planning and Finance Study proposes to provide the ideal approach for improved safety, connectivity and efficiency along the I-95 corridor.

Interested citizens may drop by anytime between the hours of 4:00pm and 7:00pm and view project information, maps and the approved Environmental Assessment on display.NCDOT representatives will be available in an informal setting to answer questions and receive comments relative to the proposed project. The opportunity to submit written comments or questions will also be provided.
