Highway Body Chooses Western Route for I-95
The State Highway Commission approved a western alignment for Interstate 95 avoiding the Roanoke Rapids Weldon corridor and tying near Kenly. An eastern route along U S 301 would be longer by about six miles and cost travelers roughly four million dollars annually. A spur from I-95 to 301 north of Rocky Mount would remain a option. The next step is to present the plan to the Federal Bureau of Public Roads.
