[edit] Exit 6?

I had opportunity to drive 485 this weekend, and I noticed ramp stubs at mile marker 5.8. It looks like this is either a future exit or an exit that was proposed, had work begun on it, and was then abandoned. Does anybody know the details? —C.Fred (talk) 21:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

What you have discovered is a future interchange for West Blvd. and/or Garrison Road. Plans call for Charlotte/Douglas International Airport to build its third parallel runway next to I-485. Doing so will force the area roads to move elsewhere. Garrison Road, which crosses at the site you mentioned will be shifted and West Blvd will come in at that place as well. It appears to be a huge undertaking and details can be found here: [1] --Triadian 22:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
