64 West

NCDOT and its local and regional project team partners are examining the future of the US 64 West corridor from Cary and Apex to the Pittsboro Bypass and then points west.

The Regional Transportation Alliance recognizes that US 64 West is a critical corridor for both transportation and economic development for our region and state.

  • We understand that US 64 West also serves our local community in southwestern Wake County and is critical for mobility; access to merchants, parks, and schools; and overall quality of life
  • Given the continuing population growth in the Triangle, it is clear that doing nothing is not an option, and we applaud NCDOT and its study team partners for their efforts to identify solutions to preserve and enhance mobility along the US 64 corridor 
  • The Alliance encourages NCDOT, the Capital Area MPO, and other partners to continue to explore multiple options in order to identify a balanced solution from a community, regional, and statewide perspective.

The Alliance looks forward to continuing to work with
NCDOT, the Capital Area MPO, the Towns of Cary and Apex, the Cary and Apex Chambers of Commerce, and the Save64.org community organization to identify solutions that will work for the community, region, and state, both now and in the future.   To that end, during summer 2009 the RTA facilitated multiple focus groups in partnership with the Apex and Cary chambers and provided additional information about an ongoing parkway construction project in Carmel, Indiana to help further the conversation about potential options for the US 64 corridor.
