A Nov. 20 citizens’ informational workshop in Raleigh will give you a chance to find out -- and speak out -- about NCDOT plans to remedy one of the Triangle’s worst bottlenecks.
NCDOT plans to add two lanes to the clogged four-lane stretch of Interstate 40 in west Raleigh between Wade Avenue (exit 289) and the interchange with I-440 and US 1/64 (exit 293).
The plan includes an extra lane for eastbound I-40 from Harrison Avenue in Cary (exit 287) to Wade Avenue.
Construction is to start in January 2010.
The workshop is scheduled Thursday, Nov. 20, 5-7 p.m. in the Ramada Inn ballroom, 1520 Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh.
