Southwest Bypass (US 264) (R-2250)The Southwest Bypass will go from US 264 west of Greenville to NC 11 south ofWinterville. The Bypass is proposed as a four-lane divided highway with controlledaccess from US 264 near the Pitt County Memorial Hospital to existing NC 11/MemorialDrive south of Winterville. The Bypass will provide more direct access to Pitt CountyMemorial Hospital and reduce traffic congestion along NC 11/Memorial Drive. TheBypass will also improve north-south access to the Global TransPark in Kinston.2. Northeast Bypass including US 264/NC 33 Connector (U-3430)Construct connector on new location with bridge over the Tar River. This proposedfour-lane facility would have an approximate bridge length of 500 feet providing a fifthriver crossing within the Greenville Urban Area and the only crossing betweenGreenville Boulevard and the Town of Grimesland improving access from northeasternto southeastern Pitt County. The route will become increasingly more important asresidential development continues. The route will also provide an additional access tothe Industrial Park and reduce congestion at the NC 33 - Greenville Boulevardintersection.3. NC 33 West (R-3407)Widen roadway to a multi-lane facility from US 264 in Greenville to US 64 southeast ofTarboro (20.5 miles).

Ivy Road (SR 2241), Tucker Road (SR 1759), and Ayden Golf Club Road (SR 1723)Widen roadways to meet tolerable lane width requirements including straightening andrealigning intersections.
