Capital BoulevardCapital Boulevard is historically the most significant road in Raleigh, North Carolina. Its southern terminus is near the capitol building in downtown Raleigh, where it splits into McDowell Street (one-way heading north) and Dawson Street (one-way heading south). The northern terminus of Capital Boulevard is at the Raleigh city limits (where the street changes its name). Because this road was the major route of traffic to and from the government buildings of the state capital, a great deal of light industry, commercial work, and service industry grew up along it. In recent years, this development has expanded northward. The portion of Capital Boulevard between downtown Raleigh and the I-440 beltline is a limited access highway. Major highways US-1 and US-401 follow Capital Boulevard until 401 splits off north of the I-440 beltline and becomes Louisburg Road.
