So they're moving their goalposts again without any apparent consequences, eh? Gotta love our tax dollars at work here on this project. I need to get a job where I can just blithely miss a deadline for more than three years and shrug it off.
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.
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?
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.)
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.
