One of Cary’s major transportation arteries will receive a $1 million overhaul starting this past Friday as part of a resurfacing project that will affect traffic flow in the area for roughly two months.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has hired Rea Contracting to repave and reconfigure a four-mile stretch of Kildaire Farm Road from Walnut Street to Palace Green. In conjunction with resurfacing, milling and paving, the town of Cary and NCDOT will reconfigure lane patterns between Maynard Road and Walnut Street, adjusting the existing four-lane section to a three-lane section with a center turn lane and extra width for cyclists.
The work is scheduled to be finished by September.
The good news for commuters is that there should be no lane closures during rush hour. The town says closures may be implemented at anytime except Monday-Friday from 6-9 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. At least one lane in each direction will remain open at all times. Operations will mostly be under way at night.
The total cost of work on the state-maintained portions of Kildaire Farm Road from Palace Green to Byrum Street is $933,400. Cary will pay $27,820 for NCDOT to complete work on the town-maintained portions of Kildaire Farm Road that fall within the four-mile stretch.
