A section of I-74 in North Carolina is currently under construction. This is the eastern half of the [[Winston-Salem Northern Beltway]].

The proposed path of I-74 east of I-95 in North Carolina is still being debated. The current plan takes the route along [[U.S. Route 74|US&nbsp;74]] to [[North Carolina Highway 211|NC&nbsp;211]] near [[Bolton, North Carolina|Bolton]] then south along [[U.S. Route 17|US&nbsp;17]] to near the [[South Carolina]] border. These sections are not currently proposed to be built perhaps for another 20 to 30&nbsp;years. The [[North Carolina Turnpike Authority]]—at the request of officials in Brunswick County—are studying whether a toll road could get the section of I-74 in that county built faster.<ref name=Seg17>{{cite web |last= Malme |first= Robert H. |year= 2015 |url= http://www.gribblenation.net/i7374nc/i74seg17.html |title= I-74 Segment&nbsp;17 |work= Gribble Nation |access-date= May 30, 2015}}{{self-published source|date=February 2017}}</ref>{{self-published inline|certain=yes|date=February 2017}}

Starting around [[Laurinburg, North Carolina|Laurinburg]] and [[Maxton, North Carolina|Maxton]] and to the east, I-74 runs concurrent with US&nbsp;74. This was the first time that a [[U.S. Route]] and Interstate Highway with the same number have been designated on the same highway.<ref name="Seg16">{{cite web|last=Malme |first=Robert H. |year=2009 |url=http://web.duke.edu/~rmalme/i74seg16.html |title=I-74 Segment&nbsp;16 |access-date=November 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008000208/http://web.duke.edu/~rmalme/i74seg16.html |archive-date=October 8, 2011 |url-status=dead }}{{self-published source|date= August 2012}}</ref>{{self-published inline|certain=y|date= August 2012}} A similar situation occurred more recently in June 2015 when [[Wisconsin]] started routing [[Interstate 41|I-41]] along the route of [[U.S. Route 41|US&nbsp;41]].
