Construct new interchange at existing grade- separated crossing of Mattress Factory Road and 1- 40/1 -85 to relieve existing and /or future expected congestion on projected under - capacity existing interchanges at 1- 40/1 -85 and Mebane Oaks Road and 1- 40/1 -85 and Buckhorn Road and to serve existing and future growth in the specific area around the proposed interchange. The proposed interchange would address both traffic capacity deficiencies and reduce crashes related to congestion on parallel thoroughfares. The new interchange would also be an opportunity to provide pedestrian and biking facilities across 1- 40/1 -85 that do not currently exist in the Mebane area.
