| Fortify Friday: The Latest Information on the Fortify Project Posted: 13 Feb 2015 03:45 AM PST Fortify Friday: The Latest Information on the Fortify Project RALEIGH- Traffic on the I-40 portion of the Fortify Rebuild Project will soon be narrowed to three lanes along the entire eight-mile stretch of highway from U.S. 1 to the I-440 split. As a result, congestion and longer travel times through the area can be expected. There are a number of ways though, that commuters can help reduce the inevitable delays—and taking the bus is one of them. If you've taken the bus, you know the benefits of riding public transit. If you haven't, now is the time to try! It makes the most of your time. By avoiding the driver's seat, you can do work, catch up on your email or finally order that belated birthday gift you've been meaning to buy. Triangle Transit buses have WiFi!It lends to better health. Taking public transit not only relieves stress, but studies show transit riders on average get roughly 19 minutes of additional physical activity a day just by walking to stops and destinations.It saves money. By riding the bus, you won't have to fill up your car's gas tank as often. That means more money in your pocket for something more exciting than idling on the interstate. Triangle Transit and Capital Area Transit are just a few of the public transportation options available to commuters heading to and from Raleigh. If the bus or train doesn't work for you, carpools and vanpools are a great way to save money and time, and provides opportunities to socialize. Share the Ride NC is the perfect place to find carpools and vanpools in your area. If you are heading out of the Triangle and want to avoid the interstate, take the train! North Carolina's Amtrak offers multiple trips between Raleigh, the Triad and Charlotte every day. Booking your ticket is quick and easy. Just visit NCDOT's NCByTrain.org for schedules, fares and discounts. There's no need to be caught in Fortify's potential traffic delays. Ride public transportation and avoid the stress.. Project Update: Work on I-40 continues to gearing up as crews are busy in several areas on both the east and westbound sides of the work zone between U.S. 1 in Cary and the I-440 split in southeast Raleigh. This coming week look for ramp work under way at the Saunders Street and Hammond Road interchanges, shoulder work to prep them for use as travel lanes between the Hadley Road and State Street bridges, as well as between the Gorman Street and Lake Wheeler Road exits, U.S. 1 and Gorman Street, and the Hadley Road and State Street bridges. Bridge widening also goes on for the structures at the Norfolk Railroad tracks, Garner Road and Hadley Road. Other crews are still working on I-440 East, which is targeted to have its third lane open next month. New highway signs and light poles are going in, surfacing work is planned between I-495/U.S. 64/264 and the Crabtree Creek bridge, and more paving prep work is set for other sections of the roadway. And even though all lanes are open on I-440 West, some final touch work remains, including the installation of new lighting. And as a reminder for drivers who use I-440 in either direction, what you are traveling on is not the final surface for the interstate. When weather warms up in March, crews will be putting down a final layer of asphalt on the new roadway in both directions, as well as permanent lane markings. That work will continue for most of the month, and so it doesn't interfere with traffic, will be done at night. Both I-40 and I-440 remain busy work areas, so please continue to drive carefully, obey the lower speed limits in the work zones (it's an extra $250 fine beyond the cost of just the speeding ticket if you are caught speeding in a work zone) and watch for lane shifts and construction signs. Also be aware that shoulders along the highway in the entire work zone are quick clearance tow away zones for the safety of motorists and workers. If you do break down or have to stop, it's best to stay with your vehicle and call 911. One of the DOT's Incident Management Assistance Patrol trucks, or the on-call towing company for the project, will be sent to the scene as soon as possible to provide assistance. For real-time travel information at any time, call 511, visit the Traveler Services section of the NCDOT website or follow NCDOT on Twitter.
