Quote from: Daniel Fiddler on July 06, 2025, 11:32:47 PMI would think they will rename it to I-640 or something. 540 doesn't make sense for a complete beltway, that usually commands an even digit.There's no plans to rename NC-540 or I-540.
Quote from: Daniel Fiddler on Today at 12:17:58 AM1. Why I-87? It's mostly east - west, and does not connect to I-87 in New York, nor do I know of any plans to in the future. It would be very costly if not downright impossible to upgrade the four lane the tunnels across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge - Tunnel, and I don't think US 13 is access controlled expressway for that two or three miles (partially maybe, but not fully), so that would be expensive as well. And I am not sure how they will construct a bridge or tunnel to connect Lewes, DE with Cape May, NJ either. I'd think I-46 or I-48 more appropriate.There are no official plans to ever connect the two I-87s.
Quote2. When will they designate the remainder of US 64 between Raleigh and Williamston as I-87? It's already access controlled expressway, and could be designated I-87 unless parts of it do not meet EIHS standards.Controlled access freeway, but not up to interstate standards.

Quote from: I-55 on May 30, 2025, 11:16:02 PMQuote from: Anthony_JK on May 30, 2025, 05:11:22 PMDon't think so. Memphis would raise hell, and you'd have I-69 through traffic wanting to access Memphis either using the I-40 bridge to I-55 in West Memphis, using city streets, or US 51 south to I-240. Can't just bypass a major city like that, even one as dysfunctional as Memphis is right now.
Memphis might raise hell but Nashville ignores most of the hell Memphis brings now. As significant as completing I-69 to Memphis may be, their problem is bridges. TDOT already plans to work on one of them. Combine that with the Crump interchange and Lamar Ave improvements, Memphis is getting about as much attention as it will get, especially with the problems that plague the other 3 big metros in the state. Shelby Co. is getting 8 projects in TDOT's 10-year plan, compared to about 20 in the Nashville area, 7 in Chattanooga, and 10 in Knoxville. That's as good as Memphis is going to get unless the feds step in with at least 90 percent funding.
