We have posted on this blog in the past about the importance of a strong transportation network for not only our state, but our region and local community. There are a lot of projects underway around our area of the state. A lot of this is because the taxpayers of the state said it was ok to spend more money on our network a few years ago and some funding reforms were put in place which helped generate billions of dollars. In the Triad area, we are big winners of these reforms which means a ton of key projects are well underway and that will result in a lot of new benefits and opportunities such as jobs and economic growth and improved mobility!
Pat Ivey, NCDOT Division 9 Engineer (Forsyth, Davie, Davidson, Rowan and Stokes County) has been a long-time leader in seeing projects from start to finish in NC. He has lead many key projects around the state and is currently working on some very big ones in our area. We had the good fortune of interviewing Pat recently on some key projects. He is a great man with a lot of experience and we appreciate his willingness to share some timely updates. These are very short clips but are packed with a ton of key information on timelines, good ideas and other important information.
I-74 (Northern Beltway) - could this "drive" a potential of 30,000 jobs regionally when complete plus Kernersville is a "hotbed" of activity!
Business 40 through downtown Winston-Salem...is this really going to be completely shut down?
Holy cow - traffic is terrible on Main Street in Kernersville - will this project ever be complete?
