This paper explores the alternatives development process for a North Carolina Department
of Transportation new location roadway project. The case study will identify how
potential project conflicts were avoided or resolved through a commitment to a comprehensive
evaluation of a full range of alternatives, frequent agency and public coordination
and maintaining flexibility. This approach reduced the length of time typically needed
for a project of this size to reach the selection of the Least Environmentally Damaging
Practicable Alternative by approximately 40 percent and will help to streamline the
permitting process.
