GREENSBORO, N.C. — State transportation representatives, local elected officials and the family of J. Douglas (Doug) Galyon joined North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper Thursday on a soon-to-open section of Interstate 840 for a two-pronged celebration.
The Galyon family was invited to join the dignitaries to dedicate a portion of the Greensboro Urban Loop to their patriarch, a long-time local elected official and former chairman of the North Carolina Board of Transportation who played a key role in the planning of the freeway.
Galyon, 88, died in April 2019. The section of I-840 between Joseph M. Bryan Boulevard and Battleground Avenue has been named in his honor.
