NCDOT currently plans to extend NC 43 from its current southern terminus at US 17/US 70 southward to US 17 Business outside of New Bern. Part of the right-of-way south of the current NC 43 terminus has already been built; the southern part of right-of-way will be on Trent Creek Road. Construction is set to begin in 2025. [9]

The money for the project comes from $625 million in bonds and a $387 million loan from the federal government. The North Carolina Turnpike Authority deposited this money on July 29, 2009, and on the same day the agency's executive director David W.

When originally established in the 1920s, the state highway system was highly organized: two-digit routes ending in "0" were major cross-state routes, other two digit routes were numbered as spurs off of the main route (that is, Highway 54 would have been a spur off of Highway 50) and lesser important routes were given three digit numbers by appending an extra "ones" digit to the two digit ...

The right-of-way of the Urban Loop and its interchanges between South Elm-Eugene Street and Huffine Mill Road was annexed by the city of Greensboro in 2005. The final segment to be built, 3.7 miles (6.0 km) between North Elm Street and I-785/ US 29 , opened to traffic on January 23, 2023.
The approximately seven-mile (11 km) project was to begin with right-of-way acquisition in 2019, with construction on all three sections in 2021. [16] [17] However, this was delayed due to NCDOT having to make several refinements to the plans based on feedback from the community and the city of Asheville, as well as several other organization ...
