Interstate 295- Fayetteville, NC
Strider:
Hello, I wonder if anyone knows the update on a Future Interstate 295 construction around Fayetteville area? I looked at some legal websites that talked about Fayetteville Outer Loop.. so far.. I haven't found any updates.. does anyone know?
cpzilliacus:
One place to look is the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for Fayetteville and environs.
Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO): http://www.fampo.org/
A quick check of that site shows that there is some information available.

Found it.. thank you. It was interesting looking at these hearing maps and interchange plans for each road from the Outer Loop.. looks like the one with All-American Freeway and Muchinson Road are going to be massive.
What hits me... the proposed southern end of the Loop at I-95.. it's going to be a trumpet..? That's way opposite from the northern Loop interchange with I-95 and US 13...

Do not forget a trumpet would not work with US 13 there? South of there, no other route continues.
What amazes me, is the fact the US 13 leading in to the I-95/ Future I-295 Interchange is not freeway. In fact the transition does not occur until the middle of the interchange. The US 17/ US 64 interchange east of Willamston, NC; the I-55/ US 63 Interchange in Turell, AR; and the DE 1/ US 13 Interchange near New Castle, DE are alike this one as well. A road that goes from freeway to non freeway in the middle with free flowing ramps from freeway to freeway around them, just like this one.
Strider:
Yeah.. I know that a trumpet won't work with US 13.. obviously lol.
I thought that the south end should be directional T.. you know to avoid the looping ramp from I-295 South to I-95 North, but I guess NCDOT want to save money.. and choose the cheapest interchange.
IMO, US 13 should be widened from that interchange going east/north for a few miles.. but i guess it's a money-saving purpose here. Either way, it's nice to know that Fayetteville is having its outer loop under construction.
