The North Carolina Department of Transportation is constructing the East End Connector in Durham County to provide a direct connection between the Durham Expressway (NC 147) and Miami Boulevard (US 70), two major east-west triangle-shaped highways. This improves access to I-85 and I-40. The estimated cost for this project is $142 million.

The work involves constructing a 1.25-mile freeway from NC 147 to US 70 and converting approximately 2.75 miles of US 70, which will be part of the East End Connector, into a freeway.

Protecnium is providing surface surveyors and survey assistants.
