I-540 and Holly Springs
Many of us have been watching the future route of I-540, as it will impact sections of Holly Springs. In the past, we’ve created maps to make our “best guess” as to where it will be. The Town of Holly Springs now has a very clear map of where I-540 will snake through Holly Springs. You can see here what it’s going to look like.
