CONSIDERATION OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION'S (NCDOT) 2002-2003 SECONDARY ROAD CONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM: Attending the meeting to present the program was North Carolina Department of
Transportation Board Member Frank Johnson. Also in attendance were Division 12 District
Engineer Clay Lunsford, Assistant District Engineer Patrick Norman, Assistant District Engineer
Tim Anderson, and District Maintenance Engineer Doug McNeal.
NCDOT Board Member Johnson said he was enthusiastic about Iredell County joining the
Lake Norman Rural Transportation Planning Organization (Lake Norman RPO). Johnson said he
felt Iredell County would benefit from the organization, and that in the tong term, the county would
be treated similarly to cities and counties in Metropolitan Planning Organizations.
F. Johnson said the FY 2002-03 funding amount of $2,295,322 had been allocated to Iredell
County for road improvements. He said two rural roads were slated to be paved and that when
these were completed, the county would have only 95 miles of dirt roads (state roads) for paving.
Mr. Johnson said $105,000 had been allocated for the reconditioning of private roads. He said this
amount of money would recondition approximately five miles of private roadway.
DOT Board member Johnson said he had received a draft copy of the 2004-2010
Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). He said the plan indicated the widening of the Brawley
School Road could begin in 2005, or two years ahead of the original schedule. Johnson said the
plan also included a project to rebuild the interchange of I-40 and I-77. He said this project had
been moved up on the schedule by six years. Mr. Johnson said the wire guard rails would be
removed on Interstate 40. Johnson said Interstate 77, from the southern and northern county line
boundaries, would be reconditioned, and an active litter pickup campaign would be initiated for
both I-40 and I-77. He said the legislators in Raleigh were concerned about litter, and as of
April 1, officers would not be required to appear in court when they gave tickets for littering.
Johnson said the fences that extended across the causeways at Lake Norman would be removed to
make the area more attractive. Mr. Johnson said the truck weigh station was still on "target" in the TIP.
