| Interstate 77 & U.S. 21 southbound at the Exit 11 ramp departure
for Interstate 277 & North Carolina 16, the Brookshire Freeway. The junction between the two freeways consists
of a directional cloverleaf stack interchange. The Interstate 277 southbound ramp merges onto North Carolina
16 southbound from the left. The Urban loop returns to Interstate 77 & U.S. 21 via the John Belk Freeway
at Exit 9. Photo taken 10/05/01.

| Situated within the partial cloverleaf interchange of
5th Street is the 0.25 mile sign bridge of Exit 10B (Trade Street). Ramps to 5th Street are segregated from
the Interstate 77 mainline via a collector/distributor roadway that begins at the Interstate 277 stack
interchange. Trade Street represents the main east-west surface arterial through the central business district.

2nd Streets at downtown Charlotte. The stretch coincides with the distance between Exits 10A and Exit 10B
(Moorehead Street) on the freeway southbound. The upcoming junction with U.S. 29 & North Carolina 27 resides
just north of the Interstate 277 southern terminus. Photo taken 10/05/01.

77 & U.S. 21 with U.S. 29 & North Carolina 27 (Moorehead Street). The highways overlap between Mint Street
(North Carolina 49) and Freedom Drive through the Interstate 77 Exit 10A interchange. Photo taken 10/05/01.

| An odd cloverleaf interchange composes the southern terminal
interchange of Interstate 277 at Exit 9. The complex features a lengthy southbound collector/distributor roadway
that extends southward to the North Carolina 160 (West Boulevard) folded diamond interchange. Displayed in this
photograph is the c/d roadway departure for U.S. 74/Exit 9C (Wilkinson Boulevard) westbound, Interstate 277 north &

with Arrowood Road. Attached to the Exit 2 sign bridge is the 0.25 mile overhead for the Exit 1 symmetrical
stack interchange of the Charlotte Beltway. The c/d roadway for Interstate 485 departs before the Arrowood
Road on-ramp merges onto Interstate 77 south. Photo taken 10/05/01.

| The Interstate 485 high speed ramps ascend above the Interstate
77 & U.S. 21 mainline. The beltway is complete between Interstate 77 and Interstate 85 to the east and north
as of November 2003. The link to Interstate 85 and the Airport is slated for completion by Spring 2004.
