Study says north-south road could be built
It is feasible to build a new road connecting U.S. 311 to the Interstate 40 corridor at a cost of $193 million, according to an initial evaluation of the proposal.
The road - dubbed the Westside Thoroughfare - would accommodate growth in the center of the Triad. The original plans were proposed by the city of High Point and had the road running from Interstate 85 in Randolph County to U.S. 311.
