Raleigh–The final traffic shift on the U.S. 401 Rolesville Bypass will take place Saturday, Aug. 8, between 9 p.m. and 12 a.m., weather permitting. This will complete putting the bypass in its final four-lane pattern.
Currently the northern section of the bypass from just south of Creek Pine Drive to N.C. 96 is in a two-lane pattern. Once this shift is complete, the bypass will be in its final four-lane pattern.
The work is part of a $25 million project to build 5.8-miles of the bypass between Louisbury Road and N.C. 96. It is intended to alleviate traffic congestion for commuters between Raleigh and Franklin County in one of Wake County’s fastest growing areas.
The new roadway goes south of the existing U.S. 401, and includes intersections with Jonesville Road, Rolesville Road and Pulleytown Road before being joined again by the existing highway just before reaching N.C. 96.
