Note: This is a List of Exits on Freeways along I-74's proposed route, using information gathered from road trips along the I-74 corridor. Exit signage assumes I-74 is built as planned and current exits along existing freeways will not change after the roadways are upgraded to an Interstate. I-74 mileage is for potential future exit numbers when I-74 is signed along existing routes; numbers based on difference between existing exit numbers, map calculations and, for proposed construction project sections, mileage listed in NCDOT STIP documents. I have also used mileage presented from the NCDOT Strategic Highway Corridors website, where it did not conflict with my own records. Most speculative exit locations not official. Those listed for US 74 east of Whiteville, and speculative exits in between are from information gathered from the I-74 Feasibility Study released in Dec. 2005. NCDOT in the summer of 2012 replaced US 74 mileposts east of NC 41 with I-74 posts, the last mile marker being in the town of Delco about 8-9 miles east of where I-74's proposed routing is to leave US 74-76, the last mile number listed is 270. NCDOT added exit numbers along the existing exits along this stretch in the first half of 2013. (B) Whether this means a change in I-74's official route is unknown at this time.

*( )Indicates former US 311 exit number that was changed to I-74 based number in November and December 2008.
**( )Indicates no Exit Number currently assigned, assumes exit number based on mileage from previous numbered exit(s).
***NCDOT changed exit numbers along US 220 during the summer of 2013 from those based on US 220 mileposts to those that reflect I-73's proposed mileage starting at the SC border. This increased the exit numbers by 17. Also during this time, US 220 was moved back on its old alignment replacing Alternate/Business 220.
****Exit numbers initially listed in NCDOT Contract Documents were in error, these mileage counts were, it turns out about 26 miles too long. Originally, the Laurinburg to NC 710 segment had numbers that ranged from 207 to 226.  When I inquired with NCDOT about the possible problem, I got an I-74 mileage spreadsheetA which confirmed the NCDOT mileage was off, but still had numbers around 15 miles longer than mine. However, when NCDOT completed the last to open section of I-74 from NC 710 to NC 41 in the Fall of 2008 the exit numbers equaled or were very similar to my own. Obviously NCDOT had discovered the problem, though exactly what caused it is unknown, the only thing that matters is that they appear to be correct now. Meanwhile, they covered up the exit numbers on the Laurinburg Bypass that matched those on the new section. In April and early May 2009 they re-did the mileposts and exit numbers on the Bypass to conform to those listed above, presumably the final correct numbers.

*****Exit under Feasibility Study Alternative 1 that would just upgrade US 74. If Alternative 2 is chosen, a southern bypass of Laurel Hill will be built resulting in 2 additional exits on both sides of the bypass.
*I-285 is the future designation for the US 52 freeway from I-40 to I-85. NCDOT indicates US 52 from I-40 to I-74, if upgraded to interstate standards, would also be designated I-285. For more, go HERE.
t-temporary use of I-74 numbers and Future I-74 designation to connect I-74 to interstate 40 before the Beltway opens. Could have become an I-x74 when the W-S Beltway is completed, however NCDOT has designated it NC 192, so it doesn't have to bring the roadway up to Interstate standards.

d. On May 21, 2018 AASHTO's Special Committee on US Route Numbering approved NCDOT's request to decommission US 311 from I-73 in Randleman, along I-74 through High Point to where it currently meets US 52 in Winston-Salem. I will leave the shields up on this list until after NCDOT officially removes the signs, all the signs were removed in Forsyth County by the end of April 2020 and to I-85 in Guilford County during the early spring of 2021. Signs apparently are still present in Randolph County as of late May 2021.

e. According to the sign plans by Flatiron Contractors dated 12/19/2019, a North banner will eventually be added to the US 311 signs indicating a future truncation of the route to the south of the interchange between US 52 in Winston-Salem and the Beltway. Plans for the last segment of the Beltway published in August 2022 indicate the truncation will be done by the completion of that contract in 2026. The sign plans of that contract included the removal of US 311 from the MLK Jr. Blvd exit in downtown Winston-Salem.

f. In the fall of 2019, AASHTO's Special Committee on US Route Numbering approved NCDOT's request to reroute US 70 around Greensboro. US 70 will now depart US 29 at the NC 68 exit, travel along NC 68 until Wendover Avenue, then follow Wendover back to the current US 70 east of Greensboro. It is unknown when the signs will actually be changed, there's no evidence of such looking at NC traffic cameras as of May 24, 2022.

P. In August 2022, NCDOT released sign plans for US 52 between Mt. Airy and the project limits of the contract building the future Winston-Salem Northern Beltway showing they plan to change the exit numbers to those based on I-74's mileage as part of the construction of the last segment of Eastern Beltway between I-40 and current I-74. It is unknown whether these changes will be made after the Beltway interchange with US 52 is completed in 2023 or when the last segment of the Beltway is completed around 2026.
