The color‐coded alternative corridor segments under detailed study can be combined in various ways to form complete alternative routes connecting the two ends of the project – NC 55 in Apex and the US 64/US 264 Bypass in Knightdale.  These combinations create seventeen possible alternative routes for a new location roadway for the Complete 540 project.  The guide below illustrates these combinations:
