^I thought that it would not be because of Mebane wanting to revitalize former NC 119 in Downtown. Maybe mikeandkristie took a Memorial Day weekend roadtrip to clinch it and clarify that for us.
I plan to clinch NC/VA 119 on June 10th when I go down to the Raleigh-Durham area to scout for the roadmeet I am planning for later this year.
OK, I hadn't heard that it was open yet. While we did have a Memorial Day trip, we skipped past there on the way out. Usually, I look to see how 40 is doing from 15-501 out to 85 (exits 270 - 259) to avoid getting stuck in rush hour. Even leaving on Thursday, it was a lot of red. So we'll swing around 540, out US 64 to Siler City, and then up US 421 back to I-85 around the south side of Greensboro.
Did too many new mileage "shenanigans" in Tennessee on the drive back, so it was around midnight as we were passing back through Mebane.
It does sound like Markkos1992 has gotten in there to scout it out. We've got 2 or 3 trips coming up that will have us heading west on 40, so we should be able to hop off and take a look as well while getting the new section.
