About time - NC42 widening from Clayton to NC50

I think it took about 3-4 years. I would expect that NC36 from NC50 to Clayton Blvd would be finished sometime around 2036-2037. So just 10 more years of the crazy traffic. The lights at Barber Mill and Guy Road really back up bad during rush hour lately. Sometimes it takes 2-3 light cycles to get through. About 15 min to get from I-42 to Clayton Blvd, less than 3 miles.

 

crazy this thread goes back to 2017.

 

Seems about right, 20 years to widen 8 miles of a road by one lane each way is what we do best in NC.

Meanwhile NC540 will have built 30 miles of very high end interstate grade highway in the same time.

 

Yeah, and go thru Kinston and get that fishing gear and a t-shirt. We cant go around that on the new 42. $$$
