I-40/ I-77 Need for Project
Very Important Crossroad of North Carolina
Built and opened in Late 1960’s
Has outlived its service life
Current configuration does not meet todays design guidelines, i.e. weave distances, size of radiuses
Original Traffic Projections were 5000vpd, today the traffic on both interstates is about 70,000vpd, this is projected to be about 110,000vpd in 2035

I-40/I-77 Interchange
Project to Be Built in Three Phases
A I-40/US 21 Interchange and work along I-40 with
Ramps from I77 NB to I40 WB and ramp from I-40

I-3819A… US 21 DDI
What is DDI1.DDI is Double Diverging Interchange
2.Will require traffic to cross over onto opposite side
3.Eliminated the need for conflicting left turn movements…thus eliminating conflicts and congestion
4.Will allow US 21 to flow freely
5.Median Island will prevent left turns out
![Page 15: The Construction of the I-40/I-77 Interchange August 9, 2012](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060205/55a07e3b1a28abed578b4766/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

US 21
Reconstruct US 21 to 4 lanes with a median island
Sidewalks will be constructed on both sides
Median Island from 4th Creek Bridge south thru DDI to the south end of construction, this will prevent left turns
Full access will be allowed at Carolina Ave. via a signal

Gaither Rd
The two way traffic on the existing interstate ramp will be closed off
Gaither will access US 21 via a new Rd from just beside the Furniture Store and will intersect US 21 at a Signal at Glenway Dr, between Chili’s and Wendy’s.

Noise and Retaining Walls
Both Noise and Retaining Walls will be built:
Retaining Walls will be a combination of MSEs (Segmental Precast Units) and Soil Nails with a shotcreate facades.
Noise walls will be precast modules with concrete piles, the facade will be a simulated stone masonry pattern on both sides.
