ncdot to widen i-40 in cary from 2 to 3 lanes, but...

"Plans call for extra wide shoulders and bridges, which will make it easier to someday add a fourth lane in each direction."

 Why not build the 4th lanes NOW while you are mucking up the road!?!?!?  Seriously, I hate the NCDOT!  This is just dumb, and it's a waste of time and money to only add one lane in each direction when you are gonna have to spend more money in the future to add the 4th lane you already you need NOW.

I want some gorilla cookies ;)

Why the hell did they ever build the dayum thing with only 2 lanes to start with??!! I remember whem 40 was first built. I was so happy when they opened the final stretch. I couldnt wait to burn rubber and head to the beach!

Nothing made more sense to me then to have 5 lanes from Harrison on 40E and then, wham, make it 2 at the split at Wade. That was engineering and planning at it's finest.

reserving the space is not the same as installing a road base. building a wide bridge makes sense. if 3 lanes handles near term capacity, it doesn't make economic sense to build a 4th lane until it is required.

"I'm comin' to see ya, Elizabeth!" ;)

irish: they probably guessed wrong at growth patterns. they figured half would go north, half south.

By the time the need for 4 lanes will be here, hopefully, we won't have as many cars on the road. Cary is nothing but sprawl, already!

Completing 540 as a FREEway would probaly negate the need for even lane #3.

I don't know why that picture of Fred has tickled me so this morning.

HEY Golo Managing Editor - You should be working instead of hanging out on GOLO. Oh wait, that is work. Never mind.
