New loop section to ease city congestion

ABC might be adding a new show about cavemen to their primetime lineup this fall, but Greensboro will hopefully be debuting the next section of the Greensboro Urban Loop this fall.

According to an article in Thursday's Greensboro News & Record, that Robert Malme emailed me today, the next segment of "Painter Blvd." is scheduled to open in late November which will hopefull be a pretty nice 18th birthday present for me.

This article is also the first media mention of the I-40 relocation to the loop. Prior to this, this information was only known to the DOT and many Roadgeeks.

From what I've seen of the current construction, crews seem to mainly be focused on the Interstate 85 interchange and the Friendly Avenue interchange. It's been taking them forever to finish the Interstate 40 interchange.

Anyway, take a look here.
