Really?! I live in Durham (and have enjoyed the other thread!) by  
Sedwick Rd and Hwy 55. I use the TW-147 ramp at least 3-4 times a week  
to get onto 147 North and head into downtown Durham. Is removal of the  
ramp needed for construction of the toll road or are they just  
eliminating it to force people to use the new 540 connector?
