NC DOT hears from public on I-95 expansion, tolls

LUMBERTON, N.C.

The first meeting in communities along the I-95 corridor was held Tuesday at Robeson Community College in Lumberton. Others are scheduled later this month in Dunn and Fayetteville.

The state DOT recommends work along the entire 180 miles of I-95 from Virginia to South Carolina that would cost nearly $4.5 billion. The proposals include widening parts of the interstate to six and eight lanes, raising and rebuilding bridges and making repairs to pavement.

Current funding only covers about 10 percent of that cost, so the DOT wants to charge tolls to motorists to make up the difference.
