U-5750: N.C. 54 Widening Shiloh Glenn to Perimeter Park
Proposed widening of N.C. 54 from Shiloh Glenn Drive to Perimeter Park Drive in Morrisville, Wake County
PROJECT OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to improve N.C. 54 as a 4-lane, median-divided principal arterial with no control of access in Wake County, North Carolina. The project extends from Shiloh Glenn Drive, northwest of N.C. 540, to Perimeter Park Drive (approximately 1.2 miles) in the Town of Morrisville. The proposed action is listed in the Draft NCDOT 2018-2027 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) as Project Number U-5750.
The purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow and operational efficiency to enhance mobility along N.C. 54 from Shiloh Glenn Drive to Perimeter Park Drive in the Town of Morrisville, by reducing anticipated delays as compared to those anticipated in the future no-build condition.
