Charlotte I-85/I-485 Interchange Visualization

This visualization is a rendering of the proposed modification to the existing trumpet interchange connecting I-85 to I-485 in northeast Charlotte to a fully-directional interchange. The proposed interchange will be the final link in the I-485 Charlotte Outer Loop. In addition to modifying the I-85/I-485 interchange, the project will require the replacement of the Mallard Creek Road bridge over I-85 to accommodate the on and off-ramps from the interchange. In May 2007, a design year analysis showed that the existing interchange design completed during the original environmental and engineering studies for R-2123 needed to be re-engineered to accommodate projected design year 2035 traffic volumes of more than 180,000 vehicles per day on I-85 and more than 130,000 vehicles per day on I-485. http://www.ncdot.gov/projects/CharlotteOuterLoop/
