Newcomers to Fayetteville have a frequent complaint: Street names change often, and for no clear reason. And main routes to and from town can get congested at rush hour. The new Outer Loop is one effort to ease the problem as is the widening of Hope Mills and Cumberland roads. Installation of a new traffic signal system is also planned.
The Fayetteville Outer Loop is critical for the region. It will help support the military, promote continued economic growth, and strengthen North Carolina's ability to attract and retain business and industry.
Other benefits include:
- Reducing traffic volume on portions of the local street network
- Connecting major routes in the south, west and north portions of Fayetteville
- Providing an additional crossing of the Cape Fear River
