NCDOT To Temporarily Shift Northbound Traffic On U.S. 1/64 In Cary At The I-40 Eastbound Entrance Ramp

Raleigh, NC, July 07, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The N.C. Department of Transportation has announced that it will temporarily shift northbound U.S.1/64 traffic at the I-40 eastbound entrance ramp on Friday, July 7 at 9 p.m, weather permitting.

The lanes will be shifted onto newly constructed lanes adjacent to the median, to allow for work to be completed on the lanes adjacent to the I-40 eastbound entrance ramp. This pattern will remain in place for about six weeks.

The U.S. 1/64 widening project is a $58 million project to improve U.S. 1/64 from south of the I-40 interchange to the U.S. 64/Tryon Road interchange in Cary. The project is anticipated to be complete in late 2006, weather permitting.

The NCDOT reminds motorists to stay alert, obey the posted speed limit of 55 mph, be aware of construction workers and watch signs for construction information. The fine for speeding in the work zone is $250 and violators may receive three driver license points.
