Meetings will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. and are scheduled for:
• Monday, May 19, at Apex High School, 1501 Laura Duncan Road, Apex
• Tuesday, May 20, at Northwood High School, 310 Northwood High School Road, Pittsboro.

Citizens are invited to drop in and speak individually with NCDOT officials as well as review project alternatives. Comments and suggestions received during workshops will be considered as project plans are developed.

NCDOT is working with the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, Chatham and Wake counties, and the towns of Apex, Cary and Pittsboro to study short- and long-term strategies for upgrading the U.S. 64 corridor, from U.S. 1 in Cary to the U.S. 64 Bypass east of Pittsboro, to an expressway. A short-term series of improvements will be presented at future workshops in the fall. Additional information on the study can be found at www.ncdot.org/~us64study.
