NC540 Triangle Expressway named Number One Road by Roads and Bridges Magazine

December 13, 2024

The NC540 Triangle Expressway was named the Number one Road of 2024 by Roads & Bridges Magazine.

The NC540 Triangle Expressway isn’t just any highway—it’s North Carolina’s first modern toll road and the pioneer of all-electronic toll collection in the United States.

Stretching across the Triangle region, this vital artery connects communities, eases congestion, and supports economic growth. From its early segments like the Triangle Parkway and Western Wake Expressway to the ongoing Complete 540 extension, this project has redefined transportation in the Raleigh-Durham area.

Building the NC540 wasn’t a simple task. Our team tackled complex challenges—moving millions of yards of earth, constructing bridges, and integrating cutting-edge toll technology—all while keeping the project’s vision in focus.

Roads & Bridges Magazine is a leading voice in the infrastructure industry. It’s annual ranking recognizes projects that stand out for their engineering excellence, community impact, and forward-thinking design.

The NC540 has transformed how people move through Wake, Durham, and Johnston counties, cutting travel times and boosting connectivity. Whether it’s commuters heading to work, families exploring the area, or businesses relying on efficient transportation, this road has made a tangible difference—and we’re proud to have built it.
