Triangle Expressway
Overview
Click to Enlarge
The proposed Triangle Expressway refers to the project sections that NCTA expects to finance as a single bond offering. The Triangle Parkway and Western Wake Freeway remain separate projects for planning and environmental studies.
Length
The proposed 18.8 mile Triangle Expressway is comprised of three sections:
- Triangle Parkway will extend from NC 147 at I-40 south 3.4 miles, terminating at the interchange with the Outer Wake Expressway.
- Northern Wake Expressway (NC 540) is the portion of the Outer Wake Expressway that extends from NC 54 to NC 55. This 2.8 mile long segment, which recently opened to traffic and was constructed by the DOT with STIP funds, is being transferred to NCTA in support of the project. This section will enable Triangle Parkway and Western Wake Freeway to function as a contiguous toll facility.
- Western Wake Freeway connects with Northern Wake Expressway and will extend from a northern junction with NC 55 near Research Triangle Park to a southern junction with NC 55 Bypass near Holly Springs, covering a distance of 12.6 miles.
