Progress to report in constructing the last segment of the Loop from Camden Road to US 401:

Completion by Summer 2026?? Why so long?
When you come to a fork in the road... TAKE IT.

Google has dropped some new (March 2023) Street View imagery displaying progress on I-295:
No progress at Strickland Bridge Road.

Google Maps labels a portion of future Interstate 295 as Garrison Drive: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9285335,-78.9843959,1329m/data=!3m1!1e3. Does anyone know why that is?

Probably just an error ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I couldn't find any Garrison Drive anywhere in the Fayetteville-Parkton area and Bing Maps has no such street anywhere in the area. So this is not a label misplaced from a nearby street, it was dropped in from nowhere. A very strange mistake indeed.

NCDOT announces road closure as part of constructing I-295 Camden Road interchange (which may open next summer):

Google Maps has updated its Street View coverage at both ends of I-295. At the north end in August, I was able to get screen grabs of new overhead signs along I-95:


(The name change of Fort Bragg is not indicated on any of the signs.)

And on the southern end, construction of the future I-95/I-295 interchange from June:


Google Maps has since jumped the gun and shows this interchange as complete:

When are they going to open that last link?

It seems both NC and TN have slow contractor's when it comes to this and I-69 in NW Tennessee.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

I believe Interstate 295 will be completed in 2026.

Considering construction began in 2020, that's a lot of time. Ditto for the Union City Bypass in TN. Both were started in 2020 and still awaiting completion.

HistoricAerials shows Union City bypass under construction in 2010.  In 2010 only a 6 miles were open on I-295, compared to 24 today.  No comparison to be had here...

I don't know about I-69, but I think COVID really slowed down the Fayetteville Loop Project. I remember reading that the whole thing was supposed to get done in 2024. Now they are saying just the portion from I-95 to Parkton Rd will be done next summer. Then the remaining section up to US 401 will be done in 2026.

Not talking about the projects as a whole, but the remaining segment of I-295 verses the entire Union City Bypass as a whole. Both have moved at snail's pace on a timeline.

In June, Google Maps updated its Street View on future Interstate 295 between Leeper Rd. (Exit 2) and Glenn Rd. (Exit 4). The sideroads sign the new roadway as NC 295. Google Maps also hasn't eliminated the inaccurate Garrison Dr. name.

I've posted new photos taken by David Gallo at the US 401/Raeford Road exit with I-295, including one of the updated control city of Fort Liberty on the overhead signs:

Can confirm most references to Fort Bragg are gone. Coming back from Thanksgiving, I remember seeing one sign on the Murchinson Road Frwy still mentioning Fort Bragg, probably just forgotten about.
