I thought that it was completed about 15 years ago when they put up the signs on interstates nationwide that read, "Eisenhower Interstate System".

I might be incorrect, but I thought the basic extents were complete, and I don't know if small additional spurs, etc. are considered the same as the basic system connecting points nationwide.

Here is my last post regarding the nonsense above. It clearly shows funding for 2025, and most of NCDOT's website explains quite well where the funding comes from.

This link has many pdfs of spending over the last few years for NCDOT, of note it says 3.1% of the total budget last year went to debt service. Don't know if that's good or bad but it doesn't sound too bad:

Where in the past the highway trust fund was raided to balance the state budget, today it's nice to see a small portion (5%) of collected sales tax revenue being used to supplement the state's many transportation needs.

Your lack of comprehension does not make what I said nonsense.  You've yet to directly dispute my assertions and continue to show that you have only a partial understanding of transportation funding and how federal funding truly comes to play in such.

The fact that you are dismissing what I say out of hand without engaging for clarification is more telling than anything.

Come to think of it, I don't know what points you're trying to make any longer.

Regarding US-70 signage in Greensboro area, I can confirm there are some US-70 signage popping up on Wendover Ave. mostly between I-785/I-840 on the east side towards I-73/US-421 on the west side.

Some US-70 shields looked like it were taken from the old routing (Along US-29 and former Business I-85) and sign them along Wendover Ave. The only newest and slightly larger US-70 shields were located at the I-73/US-421 interchange off ramps (Exit 102). There are no US-70 shields at each off ramps from I-40 (Exit 214).

However, US-70 is still unsigned past Guilford College Rd Interchange (just to the west of I-73) going into High Point along NC-68 and beyond.

At least NCDOT is actively signing US-70 on Wendover... it may take a while for us to see US-70 signage in High Point.
