The N.C. Department of Transportation proposes improvements to I-240 at the Haywood Road interchange and construction of a new section of
I-26 from the Patton Avenue interchange, across the French Broad River, where it would connect with U.S.19/23/70 south of Broadway Street.
These proposed improvements will update the interstate corridor to meet current design standards and reduce traffic delays and congestion along I-26/I-240.
