NC Department of Transportation – Widening of Odell Road

NCDOT held a public meeting on November 20 regarding the proposed widening of Odell Road from the Fort Bragg boundary to Bragg Boulevard in Spring Lake.

Project:  Currently Odell Road is a two-lane road.  Plans are to widen to four lanes with a 23-foot raised median.

Purpose:  To support a new Access Control Point (ACP) that is proposed for Fort Bragg.

History:  The Fort Bragg Comprehensive Transportation System Plan recommends a new ACP at the western end of Odell Road for a more convenient access point for base personnel.

Outcome:  The new ACP will help relieve traffic on Bragg Boulevard in Spring Lake and is not anticipated to increase traffic along Odell Road.

Other:  The project may include potential relocation and acquisition of right of way.  Right of way funding is currently unavailable.
