Interstate 140/North Carolina Highway 140 (I-140/NC 140) is a 13.3-mile (21.4 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Broken in two segments, it serves as an incomplete bypass of Wilmington; providing a future direct route between the Grand Strand and Interstate 40. Officially known as the John Jay Burney Jr. Freeway, it is also known as the Wilmington Outer Loop, Wilmington Bypass and Northern Outer Loop.
I-140 begins at its interchange with US 421 as a half cloverleaf northwest of downtown Wilmington. From US 421, I-140 continues in a northeasterly direction where it crosses the Northeast Cape Fear River on the Dan Cameron Bridge. After crossing the river, the route travels in an easterly direction where it meets North Carolina Highway 133 (NC 133) at Exit 18 as another half cloverleaf interchange in Wrightsboro. From NC 133, I-140 continues to the east en route to its eastern terminus at a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-40 and US 17 in Murraysville. The completed segment of I-140 is 6.7 miles (10.8 km) in length.
