Triangle Expressway - first piece now open
I'll get to drive the new highway on Saturday, but my wife already has. And she called me right away to taunt me about it too. :-p
But she also had a good suggestion. Because of the typical backups at NC 147 and I-40, she noted that taking NC 147 to NC 540 to I-40 as a good alternative when traffic is backed up in I-40 through RTP, even with the tolls.
She might be on to something, your thoughts?
As noted I will take the new road tomorrow, I'll grab some photos and try to get them up by Sunday if not sooner!

I'm already thinking of the same idea. Actually, for me getting to/from RDU quickly and reliably can be important, especially for late-afternoon flights near rush hour. (Got stranded by Triangle Transit at the RTC last week and almost missed a 5pm flight.)
Living in downtown Durham, I'm likely to now take 147 --> NC 540 --> RDU anytime there's peak traffic. Plus, my wife's commute to work at Davis/Hopson just became about 8 minutes faster based on time tests yesterday.
