There’s always something going on with transit and transportation, and the NCDOT is working on a lot. Per a press release from them, you can check out a whole bunch of Raleigh-related items at an event Monday, May 6:
RALEIGH – The public will have a chance next week to talk directly to NCDOT representatives about nearly two dozen projects either under development or construction in the Raleigh area.
