NCDOT To Temporarily Shift Cary Parkway Exit And Entrance Ramps On U.S. 1/64 Southbound In Cary

by MMI

RALEIGH—The N.C. Department of Transportation has announced that it will temporarily shift the Cary Parkway exit ramp (Exit 99) from southbound U.S. 1/64 on Thursday, June 8 at 9 p.m., weather permitting.

Also, a traffic shift will occur for the entrance ramp from Cary Parkway onto southbound U.S. 1/64.

The shifts are necessary to continue widening U.S. 1/64 and will be in place for about three months.

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.

Motorists can visit the project Web site www.us1wake.com for news and updates regarding the project. Web site users also can register to receive e-mail updates about the U.S. 1/64 improvement project.
