Interstate 274 North Carolina

Proposed Routing

Interstate 274 is the proposed designation for the western half of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway between Interstate 40 near Clemmons and Interstate 74 and Interstate 285 near King.1 Interstate 274 appears in North Carolina's Strategic Highway Corridors map as of November 12, 2004. Unlike Interstate 285, Interstate 274 has never been submitted to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and is not yet constructed. (Interstate 285 was submitted to AASHTO as "Interstate 185" and was rejected on May 30, 2003.)3 It is likely that Interstate 274 will be submitted to AASHTO for approval in the near future, and once it is approved, then Future Interstate signs may start appearing along the route.

Status

The western half of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway will be designated as Interstate 274, and the eastern half will be Interstate 74. Currently, the loop route early in its planning process (as of November 2004), and construction is planned after the completion of environmental studies and community input processes, currently estimated to be complete by late 2005. Construction will follow in 2006 or later, pending funding availability. Some rights of way have already been acquired for this project.2
