While touring the construction progress of the Triangle Expressway with Bob Malme today, we came across this well - NC 540 detour shield.

Not sure where to begin with this: a rare orange NC shield? the hand drawn diamond? the lack of an official detour posting? The reason for the orange shield is a detour for Davis Drive and Kit Creek Road to NC 540. Currently, the interchange with 540 and Davis/Kit Creek is closed for construction of the Triangle Expressway.
And here we thought the possibility of the Toll NC 540 shields being purple was out there.
