NC 87 improvement in Rockingham County is currently funded; right-of-way by 2030, construction by 2034
Summary
Presenters said project 7 (NC 87 from County Home Road to US 29 Business) is currently funded with a projected right-of-way date of 2030 and predicted construction start in 2034; the project would add lanes and pedestrian facilities.
NCDOT told the board that Project 7 on the Rockingham County CTP—NC 87 from County Home Road to US 29 Business—is currently funded. Emily Stepka said the recommended work would widen the corridor to a five-lane facility with a center left-turn lane and include pedestrian facilities in certain sections.
"This project is currently funded. So for this project, the right of way date is predicted to be 2030, and it's predicted to be under construction by 2034," Stepka said. She added that other sections would be modernized to match standards to US 29 and that some pedestrian accommodations are included in the recommendation.
Presenters positioned this work as part of a longer prioritization and design sequence; they did not provide an estimated construction cost in the presentation.
