In classic fashion the traffic demand was spilling over into the new capacity. Radio stations in the morning reported a delay around the new ramps as traffic backed up to christen the new $114M road. At 11:13am, 9.3 new miles opened and the North became seamlessly connected to the East.
More openings scheduled for 2007:
- another five-mile stretch will open this spring connecting I-40 to N.C. 54
- and I-40 through RTP to N.C. 55 by summer
