AASHTO's minutes from last year's fall meeting were posted. They approved NCDOT's requests to sign the Goldsboro and Clayton bypasses as I-42, pending approval from FHWA.
Yesterday, the Wayne County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution urging NCDOT to speed up the Kinston Bypass and the upgrades between Goldsboro and Princeton. Flooding impacts from the Neuse River was cited as the main reason for the request.
I'm scratching my head on this one. I can see how the Kinston Bypass would help, but apparently they didn't get the memo that NCDOT plans to upgrade the existing highway in Princeton. Not sure how that would help mitigate flooding impacts.
If Wayne County really wanted to help mitigate problems from the Neuse River, they should've asked about I-795's future bypass around Mar-Mac, since US-117 there has had serious problems caused by the Neuse River in the past, notably cutting Wayne County in half when the US-117 bridges are flooded and/or shut down. Talk about misplaced priorities...

FHWA just gave it's approval. The Clayton and Goldsboro bypasses are now officially I-42. A timeline for installing I-42 signs will be announced later this year.
