North Carolina DOT eyes widening roads near Henderson County
The NCDOT proposes widening Berkeley Road Signal Hill Road and Thompson Street linking Four Seasons Boulevard to Asheville Highway to ease freight shortcuts. The plan contrasts with local TAC priorities focusing on Baldwin Hill Duncan Hill roads. Officials note heavy truck usage and weigh-station dodging as key factors. The North Main Duncan Hill area gains urgency for safety and traffic flow.
