Access to NC 295 was open from both directions on I-95 when I drove through there yesterday.

Here's the 1 Mile advance sign on I-95 North, notice the current lack of any control cities, photo courtesy of David Johnson:

A large APL was also put up northbound showing "Fort Liberty / Pope AAF" as a control city, over a closed I-95 roadway (all north and southbound lanes were shifted over to the southbound roadway in this area for construction).

Picture from last week.

I wonder if this is the ultimate sign that will remain covered for a few more years but was prematurely uncovered for that brief period of time.

I was mistaken...the ramp from 95 NB to NC 295 is not open.

The ramps from I-295 South to I-95 North, and from I-95 North to I-295 North have been opened.

Good news, but typical NCDOT proclaiming the I-295 ramps open showing the exit sign with a NC 295 shield.

Yep, drove through there yesterday and witnessed this, though Google Maps is calling it I-295 as well.  I suppose those shields will quickly be covered up with real I-295 ones once this stub finally connects with the main portion of I-295 at US 401.

They shouldn't be putting up any more NC 295 signs. All signage should have Interstate 295 shields.

It the name really reverting to Fort Bragg commemorating a different solider? I like Bragg name better than Liberty which sounds like a Northern NJ place.

Yes, a WWII paratrooper named Roland L. Bragg.
