* Recently Updated with New Information
 Color Key: Complete, Under Construction, Funded Future Project, Unfunded Future Project, Not Listed in Current STIP
* Dates from NCDOT's Draft State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) 2009-2015 (November 2007) and are subject to change. Projects not included in the STIP have an assumed starting date after 2015.
** For completed and under construction projects only.
*** Construction of the Greensboro Loop is not specifically an I-73 project,  for it will initially be signed I-40 or I-840. I-73 is to be routed upon it, however, when projects north of Greensboro are completed .
**** While the project to upgrade I-73 is unfunded and not set to start until after 2015, NCDOT hopes to get a waiver to have these segments signed as a full interstate when the Asheboro construction project is completed.

1. Though the road is signed as I-73/74 work is still needed on widening the shoulders on part of it to meet interstate standards, this project should start in 2011.
