The conference report makes the following changes to the 3rd edition. Deletes the proposed changes to GS 136-89.183(a) which removed authorization for several Turnpike Projects and amended the process for selecting other projects. Instead amends GS 136-89.183(a)(2)a. to authorize the Turnpike Authority to design, establish, purchase, construct, operate, and maintain the Triangle Expressway, including portions known as the NC 540 Triangle Parkway and the Western Wake Freeway in Wake and Durham Counties (deleting the Southeast Extension and the specified limitations on the location of the extension from the current law). Provides that these segments make up three projects. Adds that the act is effective only if House Bill 817 (Strategic Transportation Investments) becomes law.
