You just go under 540 right along the path of future Louis Stephens. They built the overpass when they constructed 540.

Anyway, the draft STIP has the connection being constructed in fiscal 2019.

According to a presentation given to the Morrisville Town Council, it says 2018 now. Will be interesting to see if they really moved it up.

The documents included in the Morrisville council meeting for this week show the same as in the latest STIP draft: Right-of-way and utility relocation in FY18 with construction following in FY19. That's accelerated from FY20 right-of-way and FY21 for construction in the previous draft.

Nice! I may not still be living around Morrisville to take advantage of it, but still... nice!

The missing piece of Louis Stephens Dr is getting closer...

Breckenridge is about to get seriously busy. They are building a new elementary school in there in the next year or so as well.

In the Cary part of Louis Stephens Dr, Cary PD often enforces the speed limit, especially in the school zone.

Not often enough, imo. So many people bust through that 35 zone at 50+. And people routinely ignore the school zone limit as well.

Morrisville needs to straighten the S curve and should consider putting in a traffic circle at the McCrimmon/LS interesection.

The kink is being removed as part of the long term plan. Basically, Louis Stevens will continue straight to the intersection with Morrisville Carpenter . More or less. And all these roads are NCDOT owned so, as it is in this case, the state should be doing this stuff, rather than the cities and towns.

I hope I live to see McCrimmon and Airport Blvd completed between 54 and 55. Also the south end of 147 tied into either Davis or Town Hall.
