The North Carolina Department of Transportation will now allow the operation of double-trailer combinations on several freeway routes in the eastern part of the state plus the Triangle area.


Last week, the department granted permission for doubles to operate on these routes:

- N.C. 147 from Interstate 85 in northern Durham to Alexander Drive in Research Triangle Park;

- U.S. 64 between U.S. 15-501 in Pittsboro and U.S. 1 in Cary;

- U.S. 64 from U.S. 13/15 in Martin County to N.C. 94 in Tyrrell County;

- N.C. 148 between N.C. 58 and U.S. 70 in Lenoir County.

- The southern half of Raleigh's 540 Outer Loop (still under construction);

Twin-trailer permission is pending for the first section of the Triangle Expressway, which extends N.C. 147 south through RTP to the 540 Outer Loop.
