Interstate 495 (I-495) is a designated, auxiliary Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It serves as a connector between I-440 and I-540 in Wake County; when completed, it will also connect with I-95, in Rocky Mount. It is also part of the Future Interstate 87 corridor.
I-495 is a six-lane connector interstate highway that connects I-440, in Raleigh, and I-540, in Knightdale; it is entirely concurrent with US 64/US 264. Speed limit for majority of the route is 70 miles per hour (110 km/h). Mileage markers and exit numbers along route are from US 64.
I-495 first appeared on February 20, 2013, when the North Carolina Department of Transportation submitted a request to AASHTO in order to establish Interstate 495 as a new auxiliary route of I-95. The proposed 44.99-mile (72.40 km) route would begin at I-440/US 64/US 64 Business in Raleigh and would end at I-95, in Rocky Mount, completely concurrent with US 64.
