Interstate 540 Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Interstate 540 is either of two interstate highway spurs of Interstate 40 in the United States.
In Arkansas, I-540 is a spur to Fort Smith, Arkansas and Bentonville, Arkansas; proposed to become part of an expanded Interstate 49.
In North Carolina, I-540 is the modern perimeter loop of Raleigh, North Carolina. The road is several miles further from downtown Raleigh than Interstate 440, the Cliff Benson Beltline. Known formally as the Northern Wake Expressway, the "Outer Loop" presently runs from I-40 near Raleigh-Durham International Airport around the northern part of Raleigh to US 1 (Capital Boulevard) northeast of Raleigh.
As of 2004, sections from US 1 to US 64 in Knightdale, North Carolina in the east and sections from I-40 to NC 54 and NC 55 is the east are under construction. Work on the southern portion of the beltway has not been begun at this time and the final segments may not be open until 2030. When finished, the loop will total over 50 miles in length; as of 2004, only about one quarter of the project has been completed and is open to traffic.
