Davie County, NC
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
environmental impact statement will be
prepared for a proposed highway project
to improve the U.S. 64 and U.S. 601
corridors in the vicinity of Mocksville
and Davie County, North Carolina. (TIP
Project R–3111)
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Clarence Coleman, PE, Operations
Engineer, Federal Highway

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT), will prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
on proposed improvements to the U.S.
64 and U.S. 601 corridors in the vicinity
of Mocksville and Davie County. The
proposed action will be the construction
of a multilane divided controlled access
highway on new location from U.S. 64
east of Mocksville to U.S. 601 and/or
U.S. 64 northwest of Mocksville. The
purpose of this project is to improve

congestion, and reduce non-essential
truck traffic in the Town of Mocksville.
The proposed action is consistent with
the 1992 Mocksville Thoroughfare Plan
and the 2003 Davie County
Thoroughfare Plan.
Alternatives studied included: (1) The
‘‘no-build’’ alternative, (2) improve
existing facilities, and (3) a controlled
access highway on new location.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments have been sent
to appropriate Federal, State and local
agencies. Citizens Informational
Workshops and meetings with local
officials and neighborhood groups have
been and will continue to be held in the
study area. Public hearings will also be
held. Information on the time and place
