Raleigh – The N.C. Department of Transportation has announced that it will hold a Construction Information Workshop to inform interested motorists and residents about the next phase of construction on the U.S. 1/64 widening project.   The workshop will be Tuesday,  Feb. 7 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Jim Graham Building located at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.  Parking is located directly off of Hillsborough Street. 

The workshop will provide residents the opportunity to meet with members of the construction team and officials from the Town of Cary to discuss the next phase of the construction project, which includes the construction of new southbound lanes, a pedestrian bridge and other improvements.   

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.
