1. Section up to Interstate Standards. Signed as I-42 in Sept./Oct. 2024.

2. Section up to Interstate Standards. Signed as I-42 in February 2025.

3. Section up to Interstate Standards. Cannot be signed as I-42 until completion of Kinston Bypass.

*Signage still to be changed though I-42 is signed. NC 42 exit will become NC 36 West, Ranch Road exit will become NC 36 East and Business 70 will become US 70 East.

**New Exit Numbers confirmed for the Goldsboro Bypass based on information from NCDOT press release, 9/13/24 and later photos.

***Exit numbers not changed to I-42 mileposts apparently due to these mileposts not starting until after US 70 exits in each direction, therefore, for now, US 70 exits off itself.

Note: Mileage for US 70 taken from US 70 in NC Wikipedia Page, except *taken from NCDOT sign plans. See I-42 page for details about exit number duplication on the Havelock Bypass.
