SALISBURY — Local residents have one more chance to talk to transportation officials about the proposed roundabout at Sherrill’s Ford and Briggs roads.
A public meeting will be held regarding the project on Tuesday from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Locke Township Fire Department, 5405 Mooresville Road, Salisbury.
This is the final meeting for residents of the area to express their opinions about the N.C. Department of Transportation’s proposed construction of a traffic circle at the intersection of Sherrill’s Ford Road and Briggs Road
The Department of Transportation says the roundabout, which would be the first in Rowan County, would make the intersection safer and remove traffic flow.
Neighbors requested a stop light, but the transportation department has said the intersection’s traffic volume doesn’t warrant one under federal law. A temporary caution light was put up in March.
