I-540 - WCR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) |
 | | There are three SPUIs along 540 -- the first, at Six Forks Rd (exit 11) opened in June 2001; the second, at Triangle Town Blvd (exit 17), opened August 12, 2002 (but is only half-open now since the road ends there); and a third, at US 401, is planned. |
 | | I-540 (aka the Outer Loop or the Northern Wake Expressway) is the Triangle's newest Interstate, completed in 1997 from I-40 to US 70. |
 | | When originally built, the number 540 was intended as a temporary designation; when it hit I-40 again at the Wake/Johnston county line, the entire road would be re-designated I-640. |
