| Fortify Friday: The Latest Information on the I-40/440 Rebuild Project Posted: 20 Feb 2015 04:46 AM PST RALEIGH-- Schools canceled classes, some retail outlets shut down early, and this week's wintry weather, complete with record-cold temperatures, put a halt to business-as-usual for many companies, but not for work on the Fortify: I-40/440 Rebuild Project. Earlier this week, even when temperatures dipped into the teens and then single digits, you could still see workers -- protected with heavy coats, hats and gloves -- installing drains and pipes, working on bridges, and determined to finish their scheduled duties. The only limitation—paving. "It doesn't matter how cold or hot it is, construction still goes on," said Amir Nezarati, Senior Assistant Resident Engineer. "But paving is a different story," he added. "Asphalt is hot and if it cools too quickly, it's not workable and can get brittle." The lowest temperature that allows for paving is near 45 degrees. The temperatures earlier this week sat near 20, and plummeted even lower late this week. Even though paving was put on hold for a few days, it doesn't affect the project's construction schedule. Contractors prepare for adverse weather conditions by taking storm days into consideration on the project timeline. So, NCDOT is pleased to report, construction on the Fortify I-40/440 Rebuild Project is still on schedule. There is, however, one casualty of the recent storm. Plows that cleared snow and ice from the 11.5 mile stretch of the Fortify project also cleared some of the lane markers. And now that the snow and ice are off the roadway, once temperatures are on the rise, crews will be replacing the damaged markers this weekend, and paving on the Inner Loop will resume soon. PROJECT UPDATE: Motorists should keep an eye out for slow moving traffic as crews replace the lane markers that snow plows cleared earlier this week. Also, on the I-440 Outer Loop, crews are getting the light poles and overhead traffic signs in place. On the I-440 Inner Loop, crews are painting lane striping for when traffic is opened back to its three-lane pattern in a few weeks. On the I-40 portion of the project, crews continue to widen bridges and do the preparatory work to make the shoulder lane usable as a travel lane for when traffic is shifted and narrowed to its three-lane pattern sometime in the Spring.
