City Council approval is requested for a Utility Reimbursement Agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to cover the cost associated with constructing the section of the Urban Loop at Joseph Bryan Boulevard and installing an on-ramp to Joseph Bryan Boulevard going west toward Inman Road. A new bridge for Inman Road will be installed and sections of a 12" water line that are in conflict with the new overpass will need to be relocated. In order for the State to perform these construction activities in their contract, they require City Council approval of a Utility Reimbursement Agreement.
