Durham saw its first slices of the federal stimulus pie Tuesday, when the governor's office announced how it divvied up its first $466 million for transportation.

Durham gets five projects:

• Resurfacing the Wake Forest Highway (N.C. 98) from Junction Road to Sherron Road;
• Widening and resurfacing the Old Oxford Highway from Roxboro Road to Granville County;
• Resurfacing Hillandale/Fulton Street from I-85 to Erwin Road;
• Patching and resurfacing Old Page Road from Angier Avenue to Mineral Springs Road;
• Resurfacing Duke Street (U.S. 501) from Hudson Avenue to Horton Road.

The five projects cover 18.11 miles; Durham is getting $4.85 million worth of stimulation.

Sweetening the pot, according to City of Durham transportation manager Mark Ahrendsen, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization is getting about $7.89 million that has not been allocated to projects yet; and about $8 million in transit funding.
