In September 2024, NC 540 was extended east to I-40/42 as more newly constructed toll freeway.

Comment: I-540 was changed to NC 540 so that the expressway can be part of the proposed Triangle Expressway.
Adam Prince has a detailed description of the route itself in his blog. He also discusses why the designation change wasn't necessary.
Mapmikey wonders when NC 540 is extended to I-40 and I-540 meets from the other way, will NC 540 be renumbered NC 640?
