I-440 begins on the western side of Raleigh at an interchange between I-40/US 1/US 64 (exits 1A and 1B), heading northeast concurrently with US 1. US 1/US 64 continues to the southwest on the same freeway. The freeway has an interchange with Jones Franklin Road (exit 1C) just over {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} from its western terminus. Continuing northeast, the freeway runs between residential neighborhoods and has a partial interchange with Melbourne Road (exit 1D). Exit 2 provides access Western Boulevard, a major arterial road that connects west Raleigh with north Cary. From there, the freeway slowly begins to turn toward the north and completes the turn after a partial cloverleaf interchange with NC 54 (Hillsborough Street) at exit 3. North of that interchange, the freeway continues west of Meredith College and east of North Carolina State University's Centennial Biomedical Campus. East of there, exit 4 is a cloverleaf interchange with Wade Avenue, which provides access to Lenovo Center and Carter–Finley Stadium. The freeway turns slightly to the northeast to have an interchange with Lake Boone Trail (exit 5). Approaching US 70, the freeway makes another slight turn toward the northeast. An incomplete interchange at exit 6 serves Ridge Road directly before the US 70 cloverleaf interchange at exit 7. From there, the freeway turns to the east and runs between more neighborhoods in the North Hills area of Raleigh. After an interchange with Six Forks Road (exit 8), which provides access to the North Hills shopping center, I-440 turns southeasterly.{{cite map |location = Raleigh |publisher = North Carolina Department of Transportation |year = 2015 |title = 2015–2016 State Transportation Map |author = North Carolina Department of Transportation |author-link = North Carolina Department of Transportation |author2 = North Carolina State Tax Commission |scale = 1:823,680 |edition = 2015–16 }}

The freeway passes south of Duke Raleigh Hospital after an interchange with Wake Forest Road (exit 10). Continuing to the southeast, the freeway crosses over Atlantic Avenue along with a railroad operated by CSX Transportation. Turning again to the southeast, a cloverleaf interchange at exit 11 provides access to US 401 (Capital Boulevard), which marks the end of the US 1 concurrency, as US 1 turns to the north to join Capital Boulevard. The freeway begins to parallel Crabtree Creek as it continues southeast. At exit 12, there are two incomplete exits: Yonkers Road is served by I-440 eastbound, while Brentwood Road and Noblin Road are served by I-440 westbound. A partial cloverleaf interchange at exit 13 serves New Bern Avenue along with US 64 Bus. eastbound. US 64 Bus. is concurrent with I-440 until exit 14. Immediately before reaching I-87/US 64/US 264 at exit 14, the freeway turns directly south. The freeway, along with several exit ramps, crosses over Crabtree Creek and a railroad owned by the Carolina Coastal Railway. US 64 continues concurrently with I-440 to the south. After an interchange with Poole Road (exit 15), the Interstate turns to the west along the southern side of Walnut Creek Park. Exit 16 is the last exit on I-440 and is used to serve I-40 eastbound. I-440 and I-87 continue to the west another {{convert|0.7|mi|km}} before both terminating at I-40 westbound. US 64 continues concurrently with I-40.

In 1991, state highway administrator William G. Marley Jr. asked the Federal Highway Administration to call the Raleigh Beltline I-440.{{cite news |last = Hoar |first = Stephen |title = Beltline Signs Aim to Aid Confused |work = The News & Observer |location = Raleigh, NC |date = August 19, 1991 |page = A1 }} On July 16, 1991, I-440 was officially designated as a new beltway running along the entirety of the existing beltline. The new Interstate was cosigned with I-40 along the southside of Raleigh between exit 293/exit 1—where I-40, I-440, US 1, and US 64 met near Cary—and exit 301/exit 16, where I-40 turned to the south. I-440 was also cosigned with US 1 from exit 1 to Capital Boulevard (formerly Downtown Boulevard). US 64 was also signed along a brief concurrency with both I-440 and US 1 from exit 1 to Western Boulevard, where it turned east toward downtown. US 70, US 401, and NC 50 were rerouted from their beltline designations through downtown Raleigh, causing worries about traffic on downtown streets.{{cite news |last = Rawlins |first = Wade |title = Diverting Beltline Traffic Puts Load on Downtown |work = The News & Observer |location = Raleigh, NC |date = September 4, 1992 |page = B2 }}

That year, work began on a seven-year, $53-million (equivalent to ${{formatprice|{{inflation|US-GDP|53000000|1991}}}} in {{inflation/year|US-GDP}}{{inflation/fn|US-GDP}}) project to expand the beltline to six lanes (three in each direction).

The original I-440 designation used "inner" and "outer" labels rather than east and west labels because the freeway made a full loop around the city. "Inner" was used to designate the clockwise direction around the beltline, and "outer" was used to designate counterclockwise.{{cite news |last = Hyman |first = Vicki |title = A Tip for the Confused: Pretend I- 440 is a Clock |work = The News & Observer |location = Raleigh, NC |date = August 8, 2000 |page = B1 }} In 2008, State Highway Administrator W. F. Rosser asked the US Department of Transportation to remove the I-440 designation from the southern portion of the beltline, where it was cosigned with I-40. This decision was primarily made to prevent confusion of travelers who used the highway. On November 10, 2008, I-440 was officially truncated on the western end at the I-40/US 1/US 64 interchange in western Raleigh and at the I-40 interchange in southeast Raleigh. The inner and outer labels were also dropped and replaced with east and west designations.{{cite web |publisher = North Carolina Department of Transportation |url = https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/2008_11_10.pdf |title = Route Changes (2008-11-10) |date = November 10, 2008 |access-date = June 11, 2016 |archive-date = February 7, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170207134537/https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/2008_11_10.pdf |url-status = live }}{{cite news |last = Siceloff |first = Bruce |title = Redesigned Beltline Signs to Drop 'Inner' and 'Outer' |work = The News & Observer |location = Raleigh, NC |date = August 24, 2008 |page = A1 }} The Federal Highway Administration route log has been updated to show the shortened distance.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has designated a {{convert|3.5|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of I-440, from Walnut Street to Wade Avenue, to be redesigned and widened to six lanes. Completed in 1960, it is the oldest section of the beltline; it features the original four lanes with minimal shoulders, substandard interchanges, and a merging left-lane onramp. A Purpose and Need Statement was completed in 2014, showing the need for the project through deficiencies in capacity, geometric (design of the roadway and interchanges), and road condition. NCDOT initially planned to spend $92 million, beginning with right-of-way acquisition in 2018.{{Cite web |url = http://www.ncdot.gov/projects/i-440improvements/ |title = I-440 Improvements |publisher = North Carolina Department of Transportation |access-date = June 10, 2016 |archive-date = June 5, 2016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160605053532/http://www.ncdot.gov/projects/i-440improvements/ |url-status = live }} The project began in earnest in late 2019{{cite news |last1 = Chaplin |first1 = Josh |title = I-440 ramp to Wade Avenue closed for 2 years |url = https://abc11.com/i440-interstate-440-wade-avenue-ramp/5679096/ |access-date = May 13, 2023 |work = ABC11 Raleigh-Durham |date = November 11, 2019 |language = en }} and was completed by mid-2023, with a revised cost estimate of $475 million.
