Color Key: Complete, Partially Complete, but not signed as Interstate, Under Construction, Funded Future Project, Project Not Listed in STIP.
* Dates from Revised NCDOT's Draft State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) 2011-2015 (August 2010) and are subject to change. All projects funded out to 2020 are listed. Projects not included in the STIP or other NCDOT documents have an assumed starting date after 2020.
** For completed and under construction projects only.
*** 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.
