Interstate 885 in Durham

NCDOT finally got around to approving the ordinance replacing NC 147 with NC 885 between I-40 and NC 540 earlier this month on March 6:

Based on the timeline at the end of the document it appears the replacement was first proposed in July 2020.

Maybe we should drop the "New" from the subject title, since it's been an official designation since June 30th of last year.

It’s still new relative to pretty much everything else around there.

Bob7374 named the thread when he launched it. That was in August 2014, which reminds us how agonizingly long it took to build this road.

Well, I still call the parking garage on Emmet Street in Charlottesville the new garage where the bookstore is. It opened in 1994.
