NCDOT TO CLOSE A SECTION OF SOUTHBOUND U.S. 1/64 IN CARY

by MMI

Raleigh – The N.C. Department of Transportation has announced that it will close a section of southbound U.S. 1/64 under the Cary Parkway overpass for night work.  The lane closures will occur each of the following nights: Monday, Jan. 16, Wednesday, Jan. 18 and Thursday, Jan. 19 from midnight to 5 a.m. to allow for work underneath the overpass.      

During the closure, motorists will be detoured up the Cary Parkway exit ramp and back to southbound U.S. 1/64.   Uniformed police officers will be present at the top of the exit ramp to direct motorists and assist with traffic flow.

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.
