The Greensboro Urban Loop
The Urban Loop (I-73/I-840) was completed in 2023 after decades of construction, giving Greensboro a full beltway. While it has relieved congestion on surface streets, the interchanges where the loop meets I-40 and I-85 are already seeing heavy traffic. The northeast section near Bryan Boulevard and PTI Airport is particularly busy during morning and evening rush hours.
I-40 Through the Triad
I-40 carries the heaviest traffic volumes in the region, especially between the I-85 junction in southwest Greensboro and the US-421 interchange on the east side. The stretch through downtown where I-40 runs concurrently with I-85 sees frequent congestion, and any incident on this shared segment can create delays in both directions across the Triad. Traffic safety is a significant concern for the region, as Greensboro has consistently appeared at the top of NCDOT crash lists, with 42 deadly collisions reported in 2024 alone. Narrowing lanes at the Interstate 40 exchanges near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive have been identified as particular high-risk zones, making real-time visual monitoring essential for local drivers. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Wendover Avenue and Gate City Boulevard to check for road-level gridlock near the Coliseum or downtown events.
I-85 and the High Point Connection
I-85 links Greensboro to High Point and eventually Charlotte to the southwest. Traffic builds at the I-40/I-85 merger near downtown and at the Furniture Market exits in High Point during the biannual International Home Furnishings Market, which brings 75,000+ visitors to the area.
US-421 and Airport Access
US-421 provides the primary route to Piedmont Triad International Airport from downtown Greensboro. The corridor also serves as a major north-south route through the eastern part of the metro. Camera coverage along this stretch helps travelers time their airport departures.
Furniture Market Traffic
During the High Point International Home Furnishings Market (April and October), I-85 between Greensboro and High Point experiences significant delays. Use the Urban Loop to bypass the congestion.

VIEW CAMERAS ON MAP →Weather Considerations
The Piedmont Triad experiences all four seasons, with ice storms and occasional snow creating the most hazardous winter driving conditions. Greensboro sits at a transition zone where precipitation type can change rapidly.
Piedmont ice storms can coat roads with a glaze that shuts down the entire freeway system. Check cameras before traveling when freezing rain is forecast — conditions can deteriorate within minutes.
Seasonal driving factors:
- Winter ice storms are more common than heavy snow and create treacherous conditions on bridges and overpasses
- Summer thunderstorms can produce flash flooding, particularly along I-40 near streams and low-lying areas
- Fall fog is common in the early morning along the Urban Loop's eastern sections
- The elevated sections of the Urban Loop and I-85 bridges freeze before road surfaces
