Interstate 74

Interstate 74 is an interstate highway in the midwestern United States. Its western end is at an intersection with Interstate 80 in Bettendorf, Iowa; its eastern end is at an intersection with Interstate 75 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Several other disconnected sections exist in North Carolina; see List of gaps in Interstate Highways.

I-74 in Central Illinois

On February 11, 2005, the North and South Carolina Departments of Transportation came to an agreement over where I-74 (and I-73) would cross the state line. It was decided that I-74 would cross the line as a northern extension of the Carolina Bays Parkway (SC 31).[1]

Spur Routes

Peoria, Illinois – I-474
Winston-Salem, North Carolina – I-274 (planned)
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – I-174 (planned)

Notes

Long-range plans call for I-74 to continue east and south of Cincinnati through West Virginia and Virginia into North Carolina. I-74 shields are up along a stretch of U.S. Highway 220 freeway south of Asheboro, North Carolina and fairly recently along a stretch between the Virginia State Line and Mt. Airy, North Carolina (most of that section is multiplexed with Interstate 77). Future I-74 shields are in place along a stretches of freeway near Asheboro and Rockingham, North Carolina as well. Eventually, I-74 (coupled with I-73) will make its way into South Carolina and produce a spur into Myrtle Beach, called I-174. Another spur route, which is expected to be called I-274, is proposed as a loop around Winston-Salem.
