From the East: Take I-40/85 Exit 44 (Old Exit 131) “Highway 70 North”. (As you drive down I-40/85, the exit signs will say EXIT 131.

It is a little confusing since this is where I-85 and I-40/Business 85 split so the exit numbering changes at your exit.) Go 2.7 miles to Highway 70/Wendover Avenue. Turn right and go 5.5 miles.
