Road Construction (generic)

Raleigh, N.C. — The state Department of Transportation on Wednesday closed the Exit 1B ramp (blue) from westbound Interstate 440 to westbound Interstate 40.

The closure is needed so crews can install a new drainage system, officials said.

The project is expected to be completed in about four weeks. In the meantime, drivers are advised to use the Wade Avenue exit (orange) off I-440 to get to I-40.

this closure really isnt that big of a deal, i always use the dual clover leaf method to head southbound on US1 and 64 comming from the crossroads onramp.

For those that need to head 40 West from US 1 South, just take the 3 cloverleafs like frayedknot said. (40 east, US 1 North(inner beltine) then back onto 40 west. Easy as Pie.

Excellent tip frayedknot. I use that same method when leaving the Best Buy / REI area of Crossroads to head back down US-1 south, except I only have to do two cloverleafs. It's a whole lot easier to me than fighting through all those lights on Walnut street...

ok, I don't see anything in blue on the map and every road on there is orange. What gives? Is this the exit to get on 40W comming from Sanford or from Raleigh? I made it in to work today and didn't have to detour so I guess I'm ok.

When is DOT adding a lane on I-40 between US1 and Wade Ave? It is sorely needed.
