Glad to see this long-delayed and much needed system interchange project (well, at least HALF of it) finally getting underway! Now they just need to get the few remaining portions of US 93 South of the Round Valley Interchange (at the east end of the US 93/I-40 multiplex) upgraded, and that interchange itself get rebuilt for future I-11 project and it will make the LAS-PHX journey much safer and smoother for everybody.

Southeast / Re: Interstate 73/74

NCDOT has advertised two pavement rehab contracts for a late May letting related to Future I-74 along US 74 in Robeson County. It appears neither includes widening shoulders to interstate standards. That apparently won't happen until interstate upgrading projects are complete, both of which are unfunded at this time.

The first contract is from NC 41 to just over the Lumber River bridges into Columbus County. While the construction plans mention the area around the NC 130/72 interchange project will be skipped, the sign plans (most of which will be kept) still includes that area. The plans are at:

The other contract is from the Scotland County line to the Alt/Bus 74 exit (the start of the current eastern most segment of I-74). It includes new exit signage for NC 71 (Exit 191) and Alt/Bus 74 (Exits 194 A/B). Those plans are at:

Mid-Atlantic / Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge (...

Last post by 1995hoo - Today at 11:21:59 AM

Until there is something formal announced about a name change for a replacement bridge, let's move on from that speculation, Francis Scott Key's legacy, and also philosophical concepts involving demographics.

Half an hour later....

Rename it to the George Herman Ruth Bridge.

The Babe was born in Baltimore.

Not sure whether that warrants a  or a  .
