From Wikipedia:
Interstate 240 (I-240) is a 9.1-mile (14.6 km) long Interstate Highway loop in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It serves as an urban connector for Asheville and runs in a half-circle around the north of the city's downtown district between exits 53B and 46B of Interstate 40. Between those points, I-40 continues in an east-west direction further south of the city, roughly parallel to the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers. The western segment of I-240 is now being co-signed with I-26 as part of a larger project extending I-26 from its former western terminus at I-40/I-240 to U.S. Route 23 (US 23) near Kingsport, Tennessee.
A planned construction project dubbed the I-26 Connector, is a $600-$800 million project to build the missing gap of I-26 through Asheville. Broken into three sections, they are all planned and funded in the 2016-2025 STIP. Section A, between Haywood Road and Brevard Road, will be a widening project with reconfiguration of ramps at Haywood, Amboy and Brevard. Section B, between north of Haywood Road to US 19/US 23/US 70, is the most expensive section of the project, at $332 million. After a review of various alternative designs, both state and federal agencies choose Alternative 4B, which will convert Patton Avenue along Bowen Bridges to local traffic and reroute I-240 along I-26 further north. Section C, the I-26/I-240/I-40 interchange, will be reconfigured to include missing ramp connects and a widening of I-40 through the area. The approximately 7-mile (11 km) project will begin right-of-way acquisition in 2019, with construction on all three sections in 2021. Additional plans for I-240 in west Asheville call for its expansion from 4 lanes to 8 lanes.
Years prior to the loop's completion, I-240 was known as I-140; however, no signage was ever posted for I-140. The I-140 designation has now been given to a spur route in Wilmington.
Good afternoon Mike!! Once again, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to show everyone your scenic rides in different cities and towns. This one of Asheville was wonderful,and quite relaxing. Could you possibly do another ride through Asheville in either September or October ? That’d be so wonderful because the fall leaves are just peaking good . There’s nothing better than a nice drive through Asheville in the fall. Oh how about a road trip through the Blue Ridge parkway starting in Asheville and going a few miles pr so . North Carolina is full of natural scenic beauty . I’m so proud to be a Tar Heel even though I’m a native Georgian or Georgia peach. My mom was raised in NC so that’s why we’re in North Carolina. (North Carolina has so much to be offer ) Excuse my lengthy comment Wishing you safe travels my friend. 👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂thumbs up on all of your videos
