Editing Interstate 74 (section)

{{Main|Interstate 74 in North Carolina}}
In the state of [[North Carolina]], {{As of|2025|alt=as of January 2025}}, I-74 exists in several segments, starting with a concurrency with [[Interstate 77|I-77]] at the Virginia border. This includes the most western portion from I-77 to US&nbsp;52 just south of [[Mount Airy, North Carolina|Mount Airy]], a segment first opened to traffic as a bypass of [[High Point, North Carolina|High Point]] then extended west to [[Interstate 40|I-40]] east of [[Winston-Salem, North Carolina|Winston-Salem]] and east to [[Interstate 73|I-73]] near [[Randleman, North Carolina|Randleman]], then another along the southern segment of I–73 and [[U.S. Route 220|US&nbsp;220]] from just north of [[Asheboro, North Carolina|Asheboro]] to northwest of [[Rockingham, North Carolina|Rockingham]], and finally a more eastern segment that runs from [[Laurinburg, North Carolina|Laurinburg]] to an end at [[North Carolina Highway 41|NC&nbsp;41]] near [[Lumberton, North Carolina|Lumberton]].{{citation needed|date=February 2020}} The latest segment to be signed, from I-40 to High Point, occurred after the federal government approved signing this section as I-74 in mid-2013, despite the highway not being up to current [[Interstate Highway standards]]. It was uncertain why the [[Federal Highway Administration]] (FHWA) made an exception, but this might have been the result of a misinterpretation when a state highway administrator asked for Interstate designation for another section and "Future Interstate" for the section already completed that did not meet standards.<ref>{{cite news|title=Mistaken Identity|last=Young|first=Wesley|work=[[Winston-Salem Journal]]|date=August 29, 2014}}</ref>
