The End of Business 40


As of this morning, the central stretch of the downtown expressway (which was originally Interstate 40, before it was re-routed in 1992 to bypass Winston-Salem to the south) is now closed.

The Broad Street bridge was torn down last month and those access ramps will be eliminated, which I guess will represent the long-term adjustment for me when it comes to coming and going.


Given that the Roediger House is just off this major downtown artery, it's going to be an interesting 20 months or so until the roadway reopens under the new moniker: The Salem Parkway.
