I can understand the ramps for redundancy, but 2 lane flyovers seem a bit excessive. Well... at least they will never be congested!Quote from: ARMOURERERIC on April 11, 2024, 08:37:28 PMI don't get the need for full access at all 3 interchanges.
I was wondering this as well. Who is going from I-40 westbound to I-74 westbound or eastbound, or I-74 (either direction) to I-40 EB? There are no plans to continue the beltway south/west, right? Seems like a massive interchange for very little traffic.
FHWA requires full movement at all Interstate interchanges (with very few exceptions) hence the redundant ramps.

Quote from: okroads on April 24, 2024, 04:11:08 PMI'm a little surprised that the Turner will not be the last to go cashless as it is the most traveled rural turnpike in the state and believe the plan was for it to convert last. There was an accident at one of the toll booths near Stroud recently, and I wonder if that pushed the Turner Turnpike to convert earlier than originally planned.I believe this was always the plan from day one whenever that was.

To get that finished, they would also need to address the stuff north of I-40, and quite a few more things to the south, not "just" the ones you listed.Quote from: vdeane on April 24, 2024, 12:53:43 PMAnd what of the part north of this interchange? There's even a traffic light.That signalized intersection will (eventually) be replaced by an interchange. I was talking about the part from US 95's East Junction with I-40 south through Wikieup to just north of Wickenburg.

NCDOT standard design for flyovers is two lanes because widening the structure later is nearly impossible.
