NCDOT GIS Data Layers

The NCDOT GIS Data Layers page provides quarterly updates to essential geospatial datasets for North Carolina. These updates cover a wide range of transportation and infrastructure elements, ensuring users have access to the most current information available from the NCDOT GIS Unit.

Recent releases have included significant updates to NCDOT Rail Division data, encompassing crossings, track, and facility locations. Additionally, comprehensive revisions have been made to Road Characteristics, Road Arcs, and Road Routes layers, now featuring both System and Non-System routes, along with the HighwayExit point feature class. The NCDOT Structure Locations for Bridge data has also been enhanced, with Bridge Decks now available as a separate dataset.

Further updates extend to MPO/RPO Boundaries and Route Data, which visually represents public roads across North Carolina. System roads are current through recent municipal agreements, while non-system roads reflect the latest local government datasets, with specific county updates detailed regularly. For detailed information and potential data issues, users are directed to the NCDOT GIS Unit Announcements document.
