Get ready for long delays at night in northbound lanes on the NC 147 Durham Freeway, tonight through Sept. 1.
The N.C. Turnpike Authority will close one northbound lane at night from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. between I-40 and T.W. Alexander Drive. The work will allow construction in the freeway median of a new lane for the Triangle Parkway, part of the Triangle Expressway toll road project. One lane will stay open at all times.
Tonight and Thursday night, road crews will stop all traffic for as much as 60 minutes at a time, to allow for construction of overhead signs.
While we're on the subject: RTP workers, will the Triangle Parkway make your commute better, or worse? Call me.
