If I-85 north of the Triangle is your highway, driving for the holidays just got easier.

NCDOT said today it has finished the latest phase of repaving work that had closed lanes and caused backups on I-85 for months in Vance County between Oxford and Henderson. 

All lanes are open, northbound and southbound. More work and more lane closings are planned for March 2009.

I-85 open

I discovered this yesterday afternoon, and was quite happy about it.  I had figured I'd have another delay like the one I had before Thanksgiving, but it was smooth all the way up 85.  Glad the NCDOT got it done!
