That is a good question and which answer you believe probably depends
on how much you believe in conspiracy theories.  However, to show
that it will indeed be eliminated, just take a look at the expressway
map with interchanges.  Note that it lists an interchange between
the triangle expressway and I-40 and nothing else there.

I've used that on-ramp many times to get from my home near
Parkwood onto 147 to go north to downtown (I used to take
my son to school that way every day).  Losing it will be a
HUGE blow to traffic congestion relief, not that the NCTA
really cares, though, I think.
