Kapsch TrafficCom AG

The North Carolina Turnpike Authority has awarded Kapsch TrafficCom a $32 million contract to complete Phase 2 of the Complete 540 project, extending the Triangle Expressway an additional 10 miles and closing the outer loop around the greater Raleigh area. The contract covers design-build work followed by a multi-year maintenance and operations term, and upon completing Phase 2, Kapsch will have deployed all tolling operations for the 36.8-mile loop of the Complete 540 expressway. Phase 2 extends the roadway from I-40/US-70 to the existing I-540/I-87/US-64/US-264 interchange in Knightdale, connecting to the 18-mile Phase 1 segment Kapsch completed in September 2024, and includes 12 toll zones and 64 lanes instrumented for all-electronic, open-road tolling without in-pavement sensors on a cloud-based platform. Phase 2 is planned to open to drivers in late 2028. NCTA first selected Kapsch in 2018 to modernize the Triangle Expressway, a project that opened to traffic in September 2024 and has met or exceeded NCTA's performance requirements, including 99.9 percent vehicle detection accuracy and 99.9 percent image capture and correlation accuracy.
