Effective 5/21/13, NC 186 was extended over US 301, then with NC 46 across I-95, then replaced SR 1200 Lebanon Church Rd north to its new endpoint at NC 48.
SR 1200 closely parallels I-95 but runs by a couple business parks and the upgrade is to facilitate truck traffic. They are widening the road.

Guess I'll update Wikipedia on it when I get a chance. It's a stub anyway, so I guess it would be a good time to improve upon it.
Okay, done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Highway_186 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Highway_186)
NC 186 has finally been posted on its extension, albeit not from I-95 itself at NC 46 as far as I can tell.
It was pitch black dark still, so the photo I took does show the NC 186 shield clearly from NC 48 south but you can't tell if I am on NC 48 or US 301...
