Interstate 795 North

The establishment of Interstate 587 along U.S. 264 between I-95 at Wilson and Greenville coincided with the renumbering of all exits to use the I-587 mileposts from U.S. 64 at Zebulon in place of U.S. 264 mileposts from I-87/440 in Raleigh. Exits along the cosigned section of I-587/795 changed, with Exit 38 for I-95 changed to 18, Exit 40 for NC 42 changed to Exit 20 and Exit 42 for Downing Street changed to Exit 22.
