Interstate 885 (I-885) and North Carolina Highway 885 (NC 885) is an 11.5-mile (18.5 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway and state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It links NC 540 and I-40 to I-85 in the Durham area. The route consists of two previously preexisting segments of freeway—NC 147 to the south and US 70 to the north—connected by the East End Connector, which opened to traffic on June 30, 2022.[2]
NC 147 was truncated and removed from the southern half of the Durham Freeway and the northern section of the Triangle Expressway, which were redesignated I-885 and NC 885, respectively. The route is cosigned with US 70 from exit 10 to its northern terminus. The route provides a continuous freeway bypass east of downtown Durham and also provides freeway access from I-40 and I-85 to the Research Triangle Park and (via NC 147) to downtown Durham.
