Future
The remaining portion of the Western Wake Freeway from US 64 south to NC 55 in Holly Springs should open by January 2013.
The Southern Wake Expressway would connect Holly Springs with Garner. The route for the southern leg known as the Orange Route, on maps since the 1990s, would affect only a few people, but it would potentially hurt the endangered dwarf wedge mussel, so the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asked for other routes to be considered. In September 2010, a new map showed several other routes, including the controversial Red Route, which many Garner-area residents protested in a December 2010 meeting; a total of 3,000 signatures on petitions opposed the route as well. A Pink Route would run along the Orange Route to Lake Benson and then join with the Red Route at I-40; residents opposed this plan as well. Another possibility would be to prevent pollution that would affect the mussels, mainly around bridges.
