Fuquay-Varina leaders hope the Judd Parkway eases congestion through downtown.

Fuquay-Varina, N.C. — Officials in Fuquay-Varina broke ground on a highway project Wednesday that promises to ease congestion through downtown.

A new two-lane highway, a portion of the Judd Parkway, will connect N.C. Highway 55 in Holly Springs to N.C. Highway 401 in Fuquay-Varina. It is expected to be complete by Nov. 2010.

"It's very significant because it ties two of the major arteries coming into Fuquay together and allows people to move around the outer perimeter of the community," Mayor John Byrne said.

Voters passed a bond referendum two years ago to pay the estimated $4.5 million cost of the project.

It is the first step in a plan for a six-mile loop around is Fuquay-Varina.

It might make shopping downtown better if it can reduce the through traffic. The town is a constant traffic jam these days. I sure hope it helps. I wish we would get a Krystal. (as long as I'm wishing)

the merchants are missing out because they aren't open when people are home to buy things (like Sunday!)

Hope the downtown merchants don't lose out because of this.
