I-5970: I-440 - Capital Boulevard Interchange
I-5970: I-440 - Capital Boulevard Interchange
Preliminary Engineering Activities for this project
have been suspended.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing to reconfigure the interchange on I-440 at Capital Boulevard in northeast Raleigh. Improvements are also being considered along Capital Boulevard between the interchange and Brentwood Road. The interchange area is often congested today, with traffic backing up onto I-440 and through adjacent intersections on Capital Boulevard. Traffic operations are anticipated to worsen as volumes increase.
The planning and design phase of this project began in Summer 2018. The NCDOT design team is coordinating with the Capital Boulevard North Corridor Study, currently underway by the City of Raleigh. More information on the Corridor Study can be found here: Capital Boulevard North.
The NCDOT interchange project recommendations will be informed by the findings of the Corridor Study.
