DOT plans to widen I-26, schedules information session

From the Times-News:
The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold an informational workshop from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31 on proposed improvements to 22.2 miles of Interstate 26 from U.S. 25 in Henderson County to I-40 in Buncombe County.

The workshop will take place at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center, Virginia C. Boone Building, at 1301 Fanning Bridge Road in Fletcher.

The proposed project involves a multi-lane widening of I-26 and also includes rehabilitating and widening existing bridges, including the Blue Ridge Parkway bridge over I-26, according to a news release from the NCDOT.

The public is invited to attend at any time during the workshop hours to speak individually with NCDOT officials and review the project area map. There will not be a formal presentation....
