RALEIGH — The N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing changes to an intersection on N.C. 150 just west of the newly constructed N.C. 16 near Denver in Lincoln County.
After an extensive traffic study, the department plans to modify the intersection of N.C. 150 at Henry Dellinger Road/Lebanon Church Road by constructing left turn lanes in both directions of N.C. 150, as well as installing overhead flashers at the intersection.
N.C. 150 is a two-lane road, and the intersection with Henry Dellinger Road/Lebanon Church Road is controlled by stop signs. A pattern of rear-end and right-angle crashes prompted NCDOT to investigate making improvements. Interim measures would include larger “Stop Ahead” signs and a 45 mile per hour speed limit along N.C. 150 through the intersection.
A project proposal will be submitted later this month to the state traffic engineer requesting funds for the improvements.
