Knightdale Bypass

Knightdale Bypass

The Knightdale Bypass is a six-lane freeway in Wake County, North Carolina that was finished in July 2005. It is also commonly called, and in some places signed as, the 64 By-pass. The 11-mile freeway bypasses the town of Knightdale, North Carolina, allowing traffic to flow easier in and out of the Raleigh metropolitan area. U.S. Highway 64 and U.S. Highway 264 have been rerouted onto the Knightdale Bypass which traverses from Raleigh's Inner Loop (Interstate 440) to the US 64/264 freeway near Zebulon, North Carolina. An interchange with the eastern segment of Raleigh's Outer Loop (Interstate 540) opened in January 2007. This interchange makes the Knightdale Bypass a key connector between Raleigh's two loops.

Former routing

US 64 and US 264's previous alignment has been given the designation Business US 64; a business route of US 264 was not included. It travels through the town of Knightdale, ending in the east near Zebulon and in the west at I-440 in Raleigh. In order for the business route to be a complete loop, it must share a short one-mile segment with I-440; however, there are no signs that indicate this concurrency.
