Final paving begins this week, and new signs will be posted beginning next week. Still no opening date though, or AASHTO approval of I-885...

WRAL said "still expected to open by summer" on this morning's newscast....

I watched it live, but I assume this is the same 'article': https://www.wral.com/crews-work-to-f...rham/20266487/

I think WRAL was just reading the summer completion date from NCDOT's project page, but it's actually supposed to open to traffic before that in the spring. Which is already half gone.

Default spring is almost over....

Given that it's June 15, and summer begins in less than a week, can we safely assume that the most recent prediction of "open to traffic in spring" will be missed yet again?

They said two weeks ago that it was scheduled to open in the next 4-5 weeks.

Last month, there was a June 30 date indicated.

I’ve driven by it on both the Durham Freeway and US70 Monday and today. The final pavement markings are down, and the crews looked like they were doing “punch list” iteams. The overhead signs with new exit numbers on the Durham Freeway appeared to be finished, although the specific exit signs at the gores need to be replaced. Their was a new “I-885” overhead sign on the advanced SB Cornwallis exit. (‘Don’t know if the exit numbers stay the same on the old 147 section that’ll be 885.)

Exit numbers on the section being renamed from 147 to 885 will remain the same.

Thanks. I thought the mileage was close on the two ends (147 and 70.). Even if they’re not exact, neither are the mileage markers.

Interesting, I did not realize Toll 147 was going away completely in favor of Toll 885. The same with 147 going away from 40 to the EEC.
