Bridges will be replaced at the Peace Street and Wade Avenue intersections. Enhanced design was considered at the Peace Street intersection.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation will be closing the northbound lane on Capital Boulevard from Peace Street to Wade Avenue for two years. Median work will be included, as will demolition. Complete closures will be limited to nights and weekends. A detour will be provided.
“We often consider these projects like breaking eggs to make omelets,” Lamb said. “This is a very big omelet.”
