When I heard the August 28th date, I didn't think there was any way possible for them to make that deadline. It was less than a month away at that...

If the Cleveland Rd exit is any indication, it will be anywhere from 1 week to 1 year before Google Maps adds the road and shows it as open. ;)
While I doubt 540 would be beneficial to someone going all the way from JoCo to RTP (the distance is a little bit longer by taking 540, and would...
Exit 312B, Cleveland Rd, is now fully open to get on/off the interstate in all directions.
Here's a better overhead view from a geotechnical document: [ATTACH]
I found this site plan. From what I can tell, it's going to be on the northwest corner of the NC 42/Old Drug Store intersection (well, northwest...
As part of whatever they're doing to the roadside at Old Drug Store and Cornwallis Rd, it looks like they're putting traffic lights in at that...

Has there been any indication yet what's coming to this strip mall, or is it too early? For those that don't come through here often, the building...
Has anyone actually seen them doing something to the 312B ramps that would justify them being closed? It seems to me they could have been open all...
During times of light traffic? Yeah, it is a lot smoother. Rush hours and Sunday mornings (the Bojangles/Cracker Barrel rush?), not so much.
I hope they either 1) plan on reevaluating the stoplight timing in the area, or 2) open up exit 312B pretty soon. The 40/42 exit regularly backs...
Google Maps still thinks 1) you cannot go across the I-40 bridge from west to east, and 2) that the Cleveland Rd exits are open. It is wrong on...
Google Maps is still showing it closed 15 hours later. It is not. Google Maps is just dumb sometimes.
Yeah, at last check, those ramps are have been open all week. It would help traffic so much if they left the ramps open to/from Raleigh, though.
In my opinion, traffic has gotten worse since they removed the light at Glen Rd. I guess in the overall light cycle, NC 42 now gets more green...
https://www.ncdot.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/2024/2024-04-19-new-1-40-interchange-johnston.aspx DOT finally made a press release about this...
There are signs up at 40/42 saying "42 bridge closed from Friday 4/19 10pm until Monday 4/22 5am". If they mean COMPLETELY closed, I would...
Since the change, I've seen: Someone turn left out of Bojangles, ride on the wrong side of the road until the barrels are gone, then move back...
