Interstate 42 (E)

For those curious, 70 through Wilson's Mills is still a construction zone with a variable speed limit seemingly capped at 60 mph. 😢

There wasn't much evidence of continued construction, primarily some work along the shoulder (visible around 0:59). I'm also pretty sure one or both of these signs are recent additions, though I would have thought the DOT would have done a better job spacing out their own sign...


Outside of Wilson's Mills, I also noticed that the sign at the beginning of the 60 mph zone on 70 W just past 70 Business heading toward Smithfield had been missing for at least a few months. I submitted a request through the contact form on DOT's site and it was fixed within a few weeks. Nice to see the quick response!

I hope my request to replace the 2 years missing I-85 "Kings Mountain National Military Park" sign entering the state from SC is replaced quickly too.

These many divisions of NCDOT should be patrolling their counties and identifying damaged signs. I hate to see fallen signs in the Triangle lie in the ditch for years unrepaired.

just like the big sign on I-40 east before exit 283 with 540. the sign has been laying face down on the embankment for at least 2 years now, so there is very little warning that a big and busy interchange is coming up.

Is I-95 south of I-40 still 60 mph too? They love to keep these "construction" limits for several months post construction for no good reason.
