NCDOT Announces Upcoming Traffic Shift
On U.S. 1/64 In Cary NCDOT To Shift Traffic On Northbound U.S. 1/64

Raleigh, NC – The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will temporarily shift northbound U.S. 1/64 traffic beginning Tuesday, August 16 at 8 p.m. to the newly constructed lanes on southbound U.S. 1/64. Motorists can expect intermittent ramp closures on the US 1 northbound to Walnut Street ramp and slow moving construction
vehicles on US 1 throughout the night while this shift is being coordinated. The new pattern will affect northbound motorists from just south of the Walnut Street exit ramp to just south of the I-40 interchange and will allow for the construction of new pavement on the northbound lanes. This pattern will be in place until November 2005.

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

The NCDOT reminds motorists to stay alert in the U.S. 1/64 work zone, 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 three driver license points.

Motorists can visit the project website www.us1wake.com, for news and updates regarding the project. Website users also can register to receive e-mail updates about the U.S. 1/64 improvement project. For printed copies of the updates, call the project information line at 1-888-303-3101.
