GREENSBORO– In front of a crowd of community supporters, business leaders and state and local elected officials, Governor Roy Cooper touted a new 9.4-mile section of Interstate 73 as one of the most important transportation projects of the last two decades in the Triad.
“Interstate connections bring mobility, economic development, job creation and improved quality of life,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “We are already seeing how this new highway is contributing to economic growth here in the Triad region, with more than $235 million in investment planned along the corridor.”
Governor Cooper, Transportation Secretary Jim Trogdon and Board of Transportation Chair Michael Fox celebrated the project during a formal ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, June 9.
The new section of interstate runs from the Joseph M. Bryan Boulevard/Airport Parkway interchange in Greensboro, crosses over N.C. 68 and ends south of U.S. 220 near the Haw River. The project’s contract cost $176.5 million, and included construction of a taxiway bridge at PTI Airport that is expected to spur development by providing runway access to more than 800 acres.
“A lot of collaboration went into seeing this project to completion. It has long been Rockingham County’s number one priority, as well as a top priority for Guilford County,” Secretary Trogdon said. “It would not have been possible without a collective effort.”
The roadway was completed two years earlier than originally scheduled by combining two sections of the project into a single design-build contract. In addition to the accelerating the project’s timeline, the design-build method lessens environmental impacts and saves taxpayer money by avoiding cost inflation.
“This new route cuts commutes in half and increases safety for drivers,” said Board of Transportation Chair Michael Fox. “It provides a new route without intersections and red lights, and reducing those potential collision points saves lives.”
I-73 is eventually slated to run from South Carolina to Michigan, tying North Carolina into a national effort to improve north-south travel for much of the country.
All lanes of the new section are expected to open to traffic in July. The 6-mile section of I-73 connecting U.S. 220 and N.C. 68 opened to traffic on May 19. For more about the project, including maps and pictures click here.
Local business and government leaders had the following to say about the project and its impact:
“We see I-73 as a major shot in the arm to our economic development efforts,” said Jan Critz, president of the Rockingham County Center for Economic Development, Small Business and Tourism. “During the initial construction phase alone, this project created about 200 jobs in Rockingham County, and it provides better access to the nearly 3,500 jobs found at nearby businesses such as Honda Jet and Timco.”
“It’s a crucial link to hundreds of acres owned by the Authority, and enables outstanding flexibility with respect to the size and shapes of sites that we have to offer to prospective companies,” said PTIA Executive Director Kevin Baker. “I believe that history will reflect upon the completion of this connection as a critical milestone in the life of this airport, and the growing role of this region and the State of North Carolina in the aerospace industry.”
“An impressive road network like this one gives visitors, whether Furniture Market attendees or tourists, better access to High Point and Greensboro,” said High Point Economic Development Corporation President Loren Hill.
“The Town of Oak Ridge is excited about this project, which will reduce bottlenecking on N.C. 68 through our town,” added Oak Ridge Town Manager Bruce Oakley.

Milwaukee public school teachers, parents, students and supporters staged a large picket line outside MPS administration building on Vliet Street on Milwaukee's west side late Tuesday afternoon.
The purpose was to protest yet another round of funding cuts to K-12 schools in Milwaukee. Classrooms and students are already suffering the effects of previous cuts including desks that are falling apart and books with spines that need to be taped together. Currently, Milwaukee, a mainly African-American and Latino city, spends less money per pupil than other, richer suburbs like Wauwatosa and Shorewood. Milwaukee is the state's largest school district.
Governor Scott Walker shares at least part of the blame for the messy situation. Over the past few years he's cut $1BN from the state's education budget, including $792 million from K-12 schools. Supposedly, some of that will be restored this year due to a budget surplus. Of course, the teachers aren't holding their breath that this will actually happen. At the same time he was cutting funds for public education, Walker was using some of that money to pay for tuition to privately run charter schools.
Other proposals for dealing with the budget shortfall include ending busing programs thereby forcing students to take public transportation, shifting more health care costs onto employees, and closing schools altogether.
What's happening in Milwaukee is similar to what has been happening in school districts all across the country symbolized by teacher strikes and walk-outs in states like West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky and lately Arizona. Public schools are being deprived of cash and devalued in favor of privately operated charter schools that are not accountable to the public. Our students are being reduced to mere commodities for someone else to make a profit off of. And a real education be damned.
So the priorities are obvious. Walker will give untold sums of money to Foxconn to build a plant in Racine County. Supposedly, this will create a lot of jobs; but that's what the politicians always say because they think that will win them votes come election time. There is some doubt that Foxconn can uphold its end of the bargain. In the meantime, money that went to Foxconn could be used to fund public education.
And then we have the city of Milwaukee. The owners of the Milwaukee Bucks cry poor mouth. Can't make money in the Bradley Center anymore. We need a new arena or we're moving the team to another city. So the city ponies up to placate the poor owners. I read it was $250 million in public funds for a private stadium. Think that $250 million wouldn't make a difference for Milwaukee public schools? And so it goes in this era of privatization and greed run rampant.
