It should begin at the proposed intersection of Caldwell Road (SR 1173) and Morehead Road and continue east-northeast to the sharp bend in Pitts School Road (see accompanying map). It then should follow the current alignment of Pitts School Road, southeast to Roberta Road. Next it should continue south to NC 49, going just east of Waterloo Drive as it nears NC 49. Please refer to the accompanying map for a graphical representation of these proposed changes in alignments.
