"The East End Connector has regional importance as well. Its opening is expected to promote economic development in areas along the I-85 corridor toward Virginia by improving access for travel and the transportation of goods between the counties north of Durham and major employment and retail centers, including RTP, RDU Airport and locations in Wake County."
A project had been scheduled to widen 50 between 540 and 98, but it was postponed because of NCDOT's financial difficulty. I suspect it will be done within 10 years. There hasn't been any serious talk of widening 50 north of 98.
The most recent STIP has the widening of 50 between 540 and 98 to start in 2029. About a $100 million project in today's dollars.
Much of the growth in Johnston County has been in the Route 40 corridor especially close in to Wake County. We can be in Cary in 35 minutes and downtown Raleigh in 25. However with all the recent growth in the Triangle those times are non rush hour and non accident calculations. We move here 14 plus years ago and the change is significant.

Yeah, that’s the typical case with sprawl. People flood into these places when they first start taking off, because the commutes seem reasonable. But as soon as any significant number of people do the same, the commute goes to crap.

To say nothing of the Lack of public transportation, infrastructure, and dense walkable neighborhoods and development in these far-flung exurbs.

That's true for the vast majority of the Triangle, yet folks continue to happily move into the suburbs. I sometimes wonder if those who advocate for dense, urban development don't understand why most are buying homes in suburbia instead.

Yup and yup and had been there and done that prior to transplanting here. One of the other benefits are you get in early in the following housing boom and make more equity with less risk when future markets slow.
The growth that has been flooding into places such as Johnston and Chatham counties is now heading north, with its sights set on Oxford, where Mayor Jackie Sergent must lead a challenging balance act. https://t.co/X7lM5r76ru
