Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) September 30, 2006 -- The N.C. Department of Transportation has announced that it will temporarily reduce U.S. 1/64 South to one lane at the Tryon Road overpass, beginning Friday, Sept. 29, at 9 p.m. until 6 a.m., Monday, Oct 2, weather permitting.

The lane reductions will allow for additional paving of the southbound lanes. Motorists should expect delays and are advised to take an alternate route.

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.
