I-40/73 Greensboro Urban Loop Opens
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) - The NCDOT opened the 7.5-mile I-40/73 Greensboro Western Urban Loop to traffic Thursday morning.
The highway runs from I-40 east of Gallimore Dairy Road to the I-85 Bypass/Business interchange.
The opening of the Greensboro Western Urban Loop will allow NCDOT to reroute I-40 around southern Greensboro along the new highway and the existing I-85 Bypass.
Through traffic will be able to bypass a congested area where existing I-40, I-85 Business and U.S. Routes 29, 70, 220 and U.S. 421 all run concurrently. Existing I-40 will be renamed I-40 Business.
The loop will run 12 miles from Bryan Boulevard to Groometown Road. The project has cost an estimated $108 million dollars.
