Highway 74
NC 74 follows the portion of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway between U.S. 52 near Stanleyville and U.S. 421 (Salem Parkway) near Guthrie. The first section of the planned 30 mile beltway opened in September 2020, joining U.S. 421 with U.S. 158. Subsequent segments of the freeway around Winston-Salem opened December 2020 (from U.S. 158 to U.S. 311) and November 2022 (U.S. 311 to University Parkway). Work began on the interchange with U.S. 52 near NC 65 (Bethania-Rural Hall Road) in 2019 and completed by Thanksgiving 2023 after delays on the project.
Additional sections of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway are under construction to I-40 and I-74, with anticipated completion set for late Fall 2026. Once the last remaining segments of the Northern Beltway are complete, it will become an extension of I-74.
