HB 644 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

DOT Study on Fort Bragg Traffic Congestion.

HB 644 requires North Carolina's Department of Transportation to study traffic congestion near Fort Bragg, specifically between Vass Road and N.C. Highway 87, using $500,000 in highway funds for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The study must identify economic benefits of reducing congestion and examine options like expanded rail routes and other surface transportation solutions. This bill directly affects the Fort Bragg military installation and surrounding communities by funding a traffic analysis, but does not implement any traffic solutions itself. It becomes effective July 1, 2025, after the study period.
