Editing Wake County, North Carolina (section)

==Transportation==
===Major highways===
* {{Jct|state=NC|I|40}} is the only major Interstate Highway that runs through the county. It offers direct access to [[Raleigh–Durham International Airport|Raleigh-Durham International Airport]], Cary, Garner, Morrisville, and Raleigh. It has two auxiliary routes in Wake County.
* {{Jct|state=NC|I|42}}
* {{Jct|state=NC|I|87|I-Future|87|nolink2=yes}} will eventually connect I-40 to [[Norfolk, Virginia]]. Its Wake County section is concurrent with U.S. 64. The highway is currently signed as I-87 only where it already meets Interstate standards: along the Raleigh Beltline (where its southern terminus is at I-440's Exit 16 and I-40's Exit 301) and along the [[Knightdale Bypass]], which runs from I-440 to the Business 64 exit between [[Knightdale, North Carolina|Knightdale]] and [[Wendell, North Carolina|Wendell]]. East of this point, the road is a controlled-access freeway but does not meet interstate standards, so it is marked with "Future" I-87 signs. The "future" designation will be removed as the road is eventually upgraded by improving the road's [[Shoulder (road)|shoulders]], which are currently too narrow to qualify for an Interstate Highway designation. There is no timetable for these improvements.<ref>{{cite web |date=December 12, 2013 |title=North Carolina Gets a New Interstate, with the I-495 Designation near Raleigh |url=https://apps.ncdot.gov/newsreleases/details.aspx?r=9132 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170705222404/https://apps.ncdot.gov/newsreleases/details.aspx?r=9132 |archive-date=July 5, 2017 |access-date=January 30, 2014 |work=NCDOT News Releases |publisher=North Carolina Department of Transportation}}</ref> Interstate 87 will run along the same routing, and will eventually will be extended along US 64, US 17, and other roads (some yet to be built) to Norfolk.
* {{Jct|state=NC|I|440}} is the northern, western, and eastern portion of the "Beltline" that encircles most of central Raleigh. The southern portion of the Beltline is I-40.
* {{Jct|state=NC|I|540|NC-Toll|540|nolink2=yes}} is a {{convert|66|mi|km|adj=on}} partially completed loop that currently connects the [[satellite town]]s of Knightdale, Cary, Morrisville, Apex, and Holly Springs. The completed portion in northern Wake County is called the Northern Wake Expressway (I-540). It continues as a non-Interstate route, NC 540, in western Wake County, almost all of which is a toll road. The remaining segments to be constructed will also be designated as NC 540 and will be tolled, with an approximate cost of $2.2&nbsp;billion.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 25, 2022 |title=NCDOT: Complete 540 |url=https://www.ncdot.gov/projects/complete-540/Pages/default.aspx |url-status=live |access-date=August 25, 2022 |website=NCDOT |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220813150828/https://www.ncdot.gov/projects/complete-540/Pages/default.aspx |archive-date=August 13, 2022}}</ref>
