North Carolina may no longer be alone in building/extending I-74 to South Carolina. The Ohio Department of Transportation recently tagged $809 million for an Interstate 74 extension to the eastern suburbs of Cincinnati. The $809 million comes from ODOT's 2011-2015 Major New Construction Program List. I-74 would be extended from its current eastern terminus along I-75 North to the Norwood Lateral (OH 562). I-74 would follow OH 562 eastwards to I-71 and head North to around Exit 9 (Red Bank Road). Red Bank Road to US 50 would be upgraded to Interstate standards.
