Color Key: Complete, Partially Complete, but not signed as Interstate, Under Construction, Funded Future Project, Unfunded Future Project, Project Not Listed in TIP.
* Dates from NCDOT's State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) 2007-2013 (March 2007) and are subject to change. Projects not included in the STIP or other NCDOT documents have an assumed starting date after 2013.
** For completed and under construction projects only.
*** While the project to upgrade I-73/74 is unfunded and not set to start until after 2013, 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.

u-future route of I-73, but not currently signed.
