Currently the width varies from two to five lanes.  The project includes a variable width median, curb and gutter, sidewalks on both sides, and wide outside lanes to accommodate bicycles north of High House Road .   Construction should be complete in the summer of 2005.  This is the first and most southern of three phases of widening that will result in Davis Driving being widened all the way to NC 54.
