"The interstate will return to its original east-west route through the
city as soon as possible, reverting the great bulk of the loud and
ground-shaking truck traffic to the route it used for decades before
this winter....

"Irate neighbors of the 7.7-mile, $122 million stretch of road said they
had been surprised by the volume of truck traffic on what they
understood would be a bypass more on the order of Bryan Boulevard."

"Galyon said the redesignation means most of that traffic will return to
I-40's initial route as soon as the state can prepare and install new
signs."

Just because the I-40 signs go back to the old route doesn't mean the
traffic will.  The trucks in particular...who are the main cause of
the noise residents are complaining about...will stay on the loop if
they perceive a traffic or time advantage remains on the loop.

And there's nothing the noise-complainers or NCDOT can do about that
either....if they even realize it (and the article suggests they
don't).

Or they could completely ban truck traffic on the current I-40...

Note that I'm suggesting that they should do this, just something they
could do.
