From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 885 (I-885) and North Carolina Highway 885 (NC 885 Toll) are the proposed designations of a 11.95-mile (19.23 km) long freeway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The route is planned to link the Triangle Expressway and Interstate 40 to Interstate 85 in the Durham area. The proposed route consists of two preexisting sections of freeway—North Carolina Highway 147 (NC 147) to the south and U.S. Route 70 (US 70) to the north—connected by the East End Connector, which is scheduled to open in June 2020.[1] Sign plans from NCDOT indicate that I-885 is expected to be signed immediately upon the completion of the East End Connector, pending approval from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),[2] and that NC 147 will be truncated to begin at I-885 exit 9. NC 885 Toll will replace the tolled portion of NC 147, with I-885 running the remaining 8.57 miles (13.79 km) to I-85.
