Interstate 81 in Syracuse

I read that one of the reasons I-40 was returned to its original routing—other than "driver confusion"—was that the state would have to pay for all maintenance and repairs without any help from the federal government.

I-40 at what location?

I am presuming the I-40 Greensboro 2008 Hokey Pokey.

It has to be. Interstate 40 in Winston-Salem is still on its post-1992 routing.

Thank you for providing information about the eligibility requirements I was not aware of—mainly the 80% vs 90% because of renumbering to a business route.  At least the state doesn't have to pay for all maintenance for that section. 

It still sounds a bit odd to be seeing and mentioning a business Interstate in the Northeastern section of our country.  It kind of feels like a "Carolina" thing to do.  However, renumbering former I-81 to "Green 81" is the simplest way to go.

"Carolina" thing? Do you know there are plenty of Business Interstate routes in other parts of the U.S.?

I apologize about not clarifying the I-40 section I mentioned.  Yes, I meant in Greensboro.

I am aware of many Business Interstate Highways throughout the US, however, with the exception of Business I-80 in Sacramento, it seems that the only Business Interstate freeways were in Winston-Salem (formerly) and Greensboro, NC  and Spartanburg, SC.  And yes, I am aware that not all of Green 81 is not a freeway—just the northern portion.  That is what I meant about it being a "Carolina" thing to do.
