NCDOT representative Steve Abbott said crews can get more work done at night.[br /][Ads /][br /]"They're not allowed to close any lanes during rush hour." Abbot said. "It takes about an hour or so to set up for the paving work, and it takes about an hour to sort of break down, so you're only able to get four, maybe five hours of work during the day."[br /][br /]Abbott said this helps to cut costs, and to move crews through residential neighborhoods more quickly because the amount of hours needed to complete the project isn't spread out over a longer period of several days.[br /][br /][photo ID="958018" /][br /][br /]The resurfacing of Rock Quarry Road is just part of a larger project by the NCDOT to repave 21.42 miles of road.[br /][br /]That project kicked off on July 2 and is expected to be completed Oct. 31, 2015.[br /][br /]You can check out the maps for the project [url HREF="https://xfer.services.ncdot.gov/dsplan/2015%20Highway%20Letting/01-20-15/Plans%20and%20Proposals/Wake%205CR.20921.55%20C203633/Sketch%20Map.pdf[br /]" TARGET="new" REL=""]here[/url].[br /][br /][b][url HREF="http://bit.ly/1TfmsxL"]Report a Typo[/url][/b]
