Tomorrow is the start of the 2 week litter sweep. Just grab some trash bags from home, a pair of gloves, and beautify your favorite 500 ft. long stretch of highway. In 15 minutes, you can make a big difference.

NCDOT has announced the awarding of a contract to upgrade the pavement and signage along I-85 in Durham County from the Orange County Line to US 15-501. A view of the sign plans show no changes from the current signage, including the pull through northbound at the Durham Freeway that only includes I-85, not US 70 and that was placed before the latter was officially rerouted on I-85 from Cole Mill Road when the Freeway was extended to I-85 in 1998:
