What is the Monroe Connector/Bypass? The Monroe Connector/Bypass is proposed to connect U.S. 74 near Wingate NC with the interchange of I-485 at Matthews NC. Constructed by the NC Turnpike Authority, it will be a 20-mile toll road that will relieve congestion on U.S. 74 around Monroe NC.
What is the schedule for completion of the Monroe Connector/Bypass? Discussion and planning for this roadway has been ongoing for many years. The route was chosen by the Turnpike Authority in 2009 and is undergoing the Environmental Impact Study process now. A draft Environmental Impact Statement has been completed. The final Environmental Impact Statement is underway with engineers taking rock and soil samples along U.S. 74 during the first half of February. The final EIS is expected to be complete during the first quarter of 2010. The final decision on the chosen route will be published in a Record of Decision during the second quarter of 2010. The Turnpike Authority now projects that the roadway will open in 2014.
