From I-485 West, the beginning of US 521 South. For about a decade,
US 521 continued on I-485 West to the South Blvd. Interchange (Exit 65).
From there US 521 followed South Blvd. to Billy Graham Parkway until it
ended at Interstate 85 north of Charlotte-Douglass International Airport.

Immediately after exiting I-485 the first US 521 south shield appears.
