The northern part of Caldwell <br />Road should connect with Morehead Road (rather than US 29) either at or just south <br />of the current intersection of Hudspeth and Morehead Roads. A connector should be <br />built connecting Hudspeth Road, near its bottom (southwest) corner, to the new <br />Caldwell Road alignment. The current intersection of Hudspeth Road and Morehead <br />Road should be closed. <br /> <br />The alignment of the Northern Corridor (recommended in the Thoroughfare Plan as a <br />new major thoroughfare) be shifted further out from its current proposed alignment.. <br />It should begin at the proposed intersection of Caldwell Road (SR1173) and <br />Morehead Road and continue east-northeast to the sharp bend in Pitts School Road <br />(see accompanying map). It then should follow the current alignment of Pitts School <br />Road, southeast to Roberta Road. Next it should continue south to NC 49, going just <br />east of Waterloo Drive as it nears NC 49. <br /> <br />Town of Harrisburg, Thoroughfare Plan Resolution <br /> <br />Page I <br /> <br /> <br />
