Despite Snow, Construction of Triangle Expressway on Schedule
Construction of the Triangle's first toll road is on schedule and on budget. Officials broke ground on the 18-mile Triangle Expressway last September. The expressway will connect western Wake County to Research Triangle Park. It's being built in stages. A 3.5 mile section called the Triangle Parkway should open by December 2011. Another section, the 12.5 mile Western Wake Freeway, should open by the end of 2012. Contractors are working Saturdays and some Sundays to stay on schedule after losing some days to snow. "It's been wet and cold this winter. A little more than what we're used to. However we haven't experienced anything that we can't make up just yet," said Jason Peterson, the project manager for the North Carolina Turnpike Authority. The total project will cost about one billion dollars.
