The interchange of Interstate 40 and U.S. 15-501 in Durham is set to be renamed after its dedication to a longtime U.S. representative on Tuesday.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation held a ceremony at Chapel Hill Town Hall to dedicate the area exiting the interstate and entering the highway to former Congressman David Price of North Carolina’s District 4 as a token of appreciation for his work bringing transportation and transit updates to the region during his three decades of service.

Price, who retired from Congress in 2022, represented the Chapel Hill and Durham communities across 17 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition to his work in Washington D.C., Price also taught as a faculty member at Duke and is a longtime Chapel Hill resident after having graduated from the university in 1961.

Among the many speakers and dignitaries were Price’s congressional peers, NCDOT officials, Chapel Hill Mayor Jess Anderson, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. Cooper said he was honored to call Price a friend, and detailed how the pair worked together through Cooper’s various positions within state government while Price served decades in Congress. The governor added he believed the dedication to be a fitting tribute because of Price’s focus on keeping transportation at the forefront of legislation – and keeping people’s needs in mind.
“[David] is obviously brilliant — we know that from his professorial background,” said Cooper said of Price. “But he’s a lot more than that. He is compassionately brilliant. What I mean is that he knew that every amendment, every markup of a bill, and every detail in complex legislation, ends up affecting the lives of people.
