New Exit Ramp from Toll N.C. 540 West to Old Stage Road Opens Today, Aiming to Ease Triangle Traffic

A new exit ramp from Toll N.C. 540 West to Old Stage Road (exit 43) will open today, just in time for your afternoon commute, according to the North Carolina Turnpike Authority. This is good news for drivers in the Triangle area. Drivers can benefit from this most recent advancement in the ongoing efforts to expand the Triangle Expressway, which will ease access and hopefully relieve some congestion, starting at midday.

The new ramp is intended to make travel more efficient and seamless as part of the expansive Complete 540 project, which intends to expand the motorway from the N.C. 55 Bypass to Interstate 40. According to a news release from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), today’s announcement marks a significant step in a broader effort to link towns and reduce traffic in this quickly expanding area.

However, construction will continue after the exit ramp off Toll N.C. 540 West opens. In North Carolina, a state that has been struggling with the demands of a growing population and the resulting strain on its roads, the Turnpike Authority’s dedication to the extension is representative of broader infrastructure upgrades. Now that all ramps leading to and from Old Stage Road are open, local businesses and residents may have new options and new routes.

The project is a long-term investment in North Carolinians’ mobility and quality of life, according to the NCDOT press release, and it promises a time when travel is more about the experience than the hassle.
