This project is included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
as Project Number U-5307
Planning and development are underway on a proposal to improve traffic congestion and travel times by converting Capital Boulevard (U.S. 1) between I-540 in Raleigh and Purnell/Harris Roads in Wake Forest to a controlled-access highway.
Controlled-access means ramps at interchanges would provide entry onto the roadway, cross-streets could have overpasses, and private driveway connections would not be allowed.
Travel times are highly variable, making it difficult for drivers to plan trips. A trip at evening peak hour, for example, can take up to four times longer than trips at non-peak times.

The National Cooperative Highway Research Program has developed a tool to help us measure the effectiveness of our public involvement activities.
We are interested in your perceptions of the public involvement activities, events, and processes that have occurred up to this point in time.
Your answers are completely anonymous.
Your feedback is very important to us. We will use the data collected from this assessment to evaluate the public involvement for this project so that we can best meet the needs of those potentially affected by the project.
