It is wonderful to see this critical freeway project for Durham and the entire Triangle now ready to move forward.  Thank you to all of the elected and transportation leaders from the region who have highlighted the importance of the Connector over the years.  In addition, tremendous appreciation for the work, support, and leadership of all Alliance members – including RTA volunteers in the FAST program.  For more information about the Connector, visit:  www.letsgetmoving.org/connector.
