From Wikipedia: Interstate 885 (I-885) is a freeway linking I-40 in Research Triangle Park and I-85/US 15 in Durham. Its first appearance was on August 19, 2014, when the October project letting was released, which included I-885 in the sign plans. The Interstate begins at I-40/Durham Freeway interchange (exit 279B), then goes north along the former route of NC 147 to the East End Connector, a newly built roadway to bridge the short gap between NC 147 and US 70. Continuing north concurrently with US 70, it ends at the I-85/US 15/US 70 interchange (exit 178). The NC 147 designation was removed from the existing route south of the interchange with the new connector, and the exits of the rump NC 147 (leading northwest into downtown Durham) have been renumbered to reflect its truncation. The route between I-40 and I-885, encompassing the segment no longer designated as NC 147, the new connector itself, and the segment of existing US 70 that leads to I-85, are designated I-885 and its exits renumbered accordingly. The East End Connector began construction in March 2015, and opened to traffic on June 30, 2022. Time Stamps: Northbound: 0:00 Southbound: 8:30
