https://jocoreport.com/nc-dot-to-extend-highway-42-east-across-us-70-in-clayton/ This newly approved extension will connect NC 42 East to Ranch Road, allowing drivers to reach the US 70 Bypass in just one mile. The bypass is part of Future Interstate 42, which is a vital corridor for freight transport running from 1-40 in Garner and connecting Clayton, Smithfield, Selma, Goldsboro, Kinston, New Bern and Havelock to the Port of Morehead City.
Nice simple fix, that will help a lot. I wish they would have don't that extension of the road between Lowes/cracker-barrel over to West View Elem. That would have pulled a lot of traffic out of 40/42 that were going over to Clev. Rd at CVS then heading back towards West View.
