A public meeting is being held on May 21 in Princeton to discuss the revised plan for upgrading US-70 to interstate standards between the Goldsboro Bypass and Pondfield Road just west of Princeton.
Beginning next week, the exit numbers on the Knightdale Bypass will be changing to I-87 exit numbers. Work is scheduled to finish by the end of July. The new exit numbers are listed in the press release.
Thanks for sharing this. One of the radio traffic reporters I heard last week referred to Interstate 87, and my first reaction was "Huh?" until he added something like, "more commonly known as Highway 64." Which I think they're going to have to do for the next year at least until the new name sinks in.
Also, the sign for Sheetz reminds me how ingrained those convenience stores have become to the Triangle area the last 10-15 years. Wonder if they'll venture any further east than where they currently stop along I-95 in Rocky Mount and Smithfield.

There are a number of them in the Greenville area, and even one in Washington.

NEW BERN – As work continues to bring U.S. 70 in Craven County up to interstate standards, the N.C. Department of Transportation will close one exit ramp and one entrance ramp for 36 hours this week.
The eastbound entrance and exit ramps for N.C. 41 will be closed from 7 a.m. May 30 until 7 p.m. May 31.
To access N.C. 41 from U.S. 70 East, traffic will continue past the exit for about seven miles and exit at Tuscarora Rhems Road. At the stop sign, turn left and cross U.S. 70, returning to U.S. 70 west until the N.C. 41 exit.
For traffic wanting to get to U.S. 70 East, drivers will use the entrance ramp to U.S. 70 West, drive 8.5 miles and turn left at the crossover at Dover Road and continue to U.S. 70 East.
The work is part of a larger project to bring U.S. 70 up to interstate standards. Crews are widening shoulders, as well as milling and repaving the highway, which will be renamed I-42. The project in its entirety is 32 miles long and costs $25.5 million.
