Transportation
A historical strength for Winston-Salem has been its central location and strong transportation infrastructure. Winston-Salem's well-developed and well-maintained roadways allow for quick and easy commuting.
The east-west Interstate-40 bypass runs south of downtown, allowing trucks to avoid commuter traffic. Business Interstate 40 and U.S. Highways 52, 158, 311 and 421 all run through the city. Interstates 85 and 77 (both running north-south) are about 30 minutes away. Future I-74 will run north-south through the city, following the route of the eastern segment of the proposed northern beltway.
This strong highway infrastructure ties directly with the local and regional mass transit system as well as airports and freight and passenger rail services.
