The news of the mall's opening is coming under fire by nearby residents.
"I hate for it to be a lot of traffic because when I first came here, we didn't even see any cars," resident Lillian Dunn said.
Much of the traffic will come on the new I-540 interchange with Capital Boulevard just north of the mall. The multi-million dollar series of fly-overs and exit ramps is ahead of schedule and should be ready for the mall opening.
The new section of I-540 as close as Gresham Lake Road still has a long way to go. Some engineers said they are concerned that the portion of I-540 between Falls of Neuse Road and the new mall may not be ready by Aug. 14.
