I-540 Home | Links

Friday, August 12, 2005.

For the last 22 months I have been a State Inspector for the Knightdale Bypass (US64/264 mileposts 419-430).  Specifically I worked on the Interchange portion of the roadway near I-440.

Now I am about to transition to I-540 from Triangle Town Center/US1 North to the Knightdale Bypass/US64 East.

Yesterday I rode through from the SPUI at Triangle Town Center EXIT 17 to the incomplete Lynnwood Road bridge. Here are some interesting mileages - please note that the route requires lots of zig-zagging through the project so they are probably inaccurate for exit numbers and mileposts.  I know that there are some inconsistencies with the plans.  When I get my copy I will update this page to reflect that information.
