Good morning, Wake Forest.

Contractors have begun clearing trees and building interchanges at White Oak Road + US 70 + Rock Quarry Road + Auburn-Knightdale Road on a 10-mile section of Triangle 540 that will link I-87 in Knightdale with I-40 to complete the outer belt around Raleigh after more than 35 years of work.
