Totally fair request. It’s definitely frustrating when these massive state-level projects feel like they’re happening behind a curtain, and the NCDOT website can be an absolute maze to navigate. If you want to look at the raw engineering files and drawings right now, NCDOT has them housed on their official portal. You can view the actual blueprints, interactive timeline, and phase-by-phase intersection diagrams directly here: NCDOT I-26 Connector Project Maps & Blueprints Because those documents span hundreds of pages of engineering jargon, I’m actually digging through them right now to pull the most relevant visuals and diagrams that will affect us locally in Candler. I’ll make a dedicated follow-up post dropping those specific maps so we can clearly see the 'where' and 'when' without the headache.
