[[Category:Interstate 40|5]]
In [[Arkansas]], I-540 is a spur to [[Fort Smith, Arkansas]] and [[Bentonville, Arkansas]]; proposed to become part of an expanded [[Interstate 49]].

==North Carolina==

In [[North Carolina]], I-540 is the modern [[perimeter]] loop of [[Raleigh, North Carolina]]. The road is several miles further from downtown Raleigh than [[Interstate 440]], the Cliff Benson Beltline. Known formally as the '''Northern Wake Expressway''', the "Outer Loop" presently runs from [[I-40]] near [[Raleigh-Durham International Airport]] around the northern part of Raleigh to US 1 (Capital Boulevard) northeast of Raleigh.

As of [[2004]], sections from US 1 to US 64 in [[Knightdale, North Carolina]] in the east and sections from I-40 to NC 54 and NC 55 is the east are under [[construction]]. Work on the southern portion of the beltway has not been begun at this time and the final segments may not be open until [[2030]]. When finished, the loop will total over 50 miles in length; [[as of 2004]], only about one quarter of the project has been completed and is open to traffic.
