While the project to upgrade I-73/74 is unfunded and not set to start until after 2015, NCDOT hopes to get a waiver to have this segment signed as a full interstate when the Asheboro construction project is completed.

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