While the Forum is up and running, there are still thousands of guests (bots). Downtime may occur as a result.

If Alex can't find my old avatar on the aaroads server, then I'll have to shrink the avatar on my server from 80x80 to 65x65.
Quote from: bob7374 on Today at 12:06:29 PMConceivably, NCDOT could ask for waivers to allow I-87 to be signed from I-95 in Rocky Mount east to Williamston once several improvement projects in the Rocky Mount area are completed. However, these projects were not funded in the Draft 2026-2035 STIP.If the recent resurfacing through Rocky Mount had included shoulder widening like the other nearby segments, you could sign I-87 from I-95 to Williamston today (pending FHWA approval of course). The resurfacing east of Rocky Mount to Tarboro included shoulder widening, and east of Tarboro was built to interstate standards.
Quote from: sprjus4 on Today at 10:49:48 AMNCDOT's traffic map indicates the right lane of US 64 East is closed today from MM 453 (Old Franklin Rd) to 459 (US 64 Bus.), presumably for more shoulder widening. As was pointed out several bridges and interchanges will have to be modified to become interstate standard. I have a list of needed projects from a NCDOT feasibility study posted on my New/Future I-87 in NC webpage:Quote from: Daniel Fiddler on Today at 10:23:26 AMMuch like how I-22 is or was not to Interstate standards through New Albany?https://maps.app.goo.gl/QyYpUiB9KR9rg6Ls7
I'd say US-64 through Rocky Mount is certainly in better shape, really only lacking a shoulder - although during recent surfacing, unlike other segments of US-64, they didn't widen the shoulder.
Which that's either due to inconsistency among contracts or potentially foreshadowing a future larger upgrade project.
US-64 through Nashville to the west is a much older facility, with a few mainline bridges needing replacement (such as this, although an ongoing resurfacing through there is widening the shoulders.
I'd say, interstate designation or not, it's a significant safety upgrade adding 10 ft paved shoulders to allow a safe place for a vehicle to stop during an incident, or to redirect traffic, especially on a 70 mph controlled access highway.

Arizona has shown zero interest in officially signing anything as I-11. They've also seemingly gone quiet in referring to I-11 at all, only referring to US 93 for this project.
