I did some cleanup in the infobox. While doing so, I noted 13 entries under major junctions where USRD Standards allows a maximum of 10. I'd do this myself, but I don't know what would be the most major of these routes. If nothing else, I suggest either removing all U.S. Routes from the list, or some of the 3-digit U.S./Interstate routes. -- LJ ( talk) 09:56, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I could see this article getting a FA star one day, if this comes to WP:HWY/ACR some day, I will review it again in more depth. – Fredddie ™ 18:10, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

This article passes as a Wikipedia Good Article. I think that there are the noted areas which need a bit of work but there was no editor involved here during the review process, and those areas were not sufficient to prevent passage. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 12:57, 22 March 2017 (UTC) Reviewer
1. As of Feb 13, 2020, the reference to "SR 1349" with respect to Walnut Drive under "History / Late 20th Century" (Ref 63) is incorrect. First, the reference in the link makes no mention of SR 1349. Second, a current search for SR 1349 in Madison County reveals that it is nowhere near Walnut Drive or US 70. (It is east of I-26 in the Mars Hill area). Even if a connection between Walnut Drive and SR 1349 was historically accurate, it is neither supported by the linked reference or by its current-day location, hence the reference to SR 1349 is at best misleading. (It misled me.) I have not done edits to the main article, I leave that to others. - C H Collins, Asheville NC — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.250.184.53 ( talk) 02:54, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
I was thinking that maybe that Interstate 42 should be separated into its own article. Cwater1 ( talk) 00:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
It is official. 32 miles, in two sections, have been designated Interstate 42.

When they officially put up I-42 signs then create an article called I-42 or rename this article. Renaming this article would be easier to be honest. Cwater1 ( talk) 01:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
I-42 is on Google Maps at the eastern terminus of the Goldsboro Bypass, but it is only on the exit with US 70 and signage does not appear to be up in this area. Chess Eric 01:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
This provides some of the information on the lack of signage. Chess Eric 17:04, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
I would like to add that this situation is different from I-3 because the latter interstate isn't on a specific corridor. I-42 will essentially be co-signed with US 70 for most, if not all, of its route. Chess Eric 23:00, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Also, has anyone found a source for I-42 not being signed? As far as I'm concerned, if there is no articles or published information regarding signage, than a ref for it is not needed. Chess Eric 00:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Due to I-42 already having an article (albeit a redirect at this time), I was wondering if it would be a good idea to start adding info there, but hide it until the interstate is signed. In this way, we don't have to worry about doing a bunch of redirects and having to add mass amounts of info when I-42 is finally signs. What do you guys think? Chess Eric 13:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
As noted here, I-42 will probably be routed off of US 70 south of Havelock onto a new alignment (possibly including parts of the NC 101 route), bypassing Newport and Morehead City before curving back south to the port of Morehead City via US 70 in a possible wrong-way concurrency. I don't know if the source used is reliable or not, but I will note that the quote came from the ECC (Eastern Carolina Council) in an update from Becca Eversole, the Senior Transportation Planner who is coordinating the infrastructure projects in this region. I think this is important to note here. Chess Eric 19:50, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
I just saw the Comprehensive Transportation Plans from Carteret (pending a new one currently in development) and Craven (adopted in 2023) Counties on the ECC (Eastern Carolina Council of Government) website. It appears that I-42 will indeed be routed to go around Morehead City to a termination point north of Beaufort. I just wanted to let everyone know since I was going to need to make some changes to the future portion of US 70 in regards to I-42 upgrades, and we probably need to reconsider if the split for the I-42 article is needed now or later.
