Greensboro Urban Loop
Henry:
Quick review: I-85 is rerouted around the southeastern side of Greensboro along the Urban Loop; a few years later, I-40 is also rerouted around the south side and shortly returned back to its original alignment through town; US 421 is rerouted to make up for the loss of I-40 (this section is also signed as I-73).
Any new developments since then?
dfilpus:
NCDOT has received AASHTO approval for numbering I-840 and I-73 along the segment from I 40 north to Bryan Boulevard and I-840 along the segment from I 40 north to US 70, but has not changed any signage yet.
NE2:
Note that old US 421 between the loop and I-40 no longer has a signed number.
Henry:
According to this, the next section is to be constructed sometime this year, between US 70 and the part of US 29 that will also carry I-785 north to Virginia.
dfilpus:
That AAroads page is out of date. According to the NCDOT Outer Loop web page, http://www.ncdot.org/projects/greensborourbanloop/ , right-of-way acquisition for the segment from US 70 to US 29 is scheduled for 2015. The next segment scheduled is from Bryan Boulevard to US 220 with right-of-way acquisition to start this year. The rest of the loop is unfunded.
