U-5751: NC 55 Extension - Fuquay-Varina
NCDOT is proposing to make improvements to the existing intersection of U.S. 401 and N.C. 55/N.C. 42 in Fuquay-Varina. This project will also extend N.C. 55 to Judd Parkway east of Stewart Street.
Fuquay-Varina is experiencing rapid commercial, residential and mixed-use growth. The project’s intent is to relieve existing and future traffic congestion by providing a more efficient connection to Judd Parkway. The proposed work would help improve traffic flow at the following intersections: U.S. 401 at N.C. 42/N.C. 55 and N.C. 55 at N.C. 42.
