Photos of New I-73/I-74 Segment Through Asheboro

The new section of I-73/I-74 through Asheboro was completed last week. I was e-mailed some photos from a follower of my website, JC Austin, and thought I would post them here first before putting them on my I-73 Segment 8 page.

First, the new overhead signage at the US 64/NC 49 interchange (only the support poles were up when I was last there in early August):

Do you think they should have Winston-Salem as one of the control cities for North I-73/West I-74? Maybe they'll change it after the I-74 freeway is completed by next April.

Here are some examples of the new Interstate signage replacing the Future I-73/74 shields (for North I-73/West I-74 anyway) at the new Exit 68 for Business 220 and NC 134:

Above approaching the southbound on-ramp and below, the northbound ramp:

Here are some of the new overheads on the highway itself, here northbound at US 64/NC 49, new Exit 72):

And here are the overheads for the left-hand NC 42 exit heading south, Exit 74:

Last, we have one of the new I-73 mile markers to make the new exit numbers official (the last new number northbound, for now, is 76) before the Presnell Drive exit:

Hopefully, I will be able to check this out in person some time in the coming months.

Paper Highways: The Unbuilt New Orleans Bypass (Proposed I-410)

There are many examples around the United States of proposed freeway corridors in urban areas that never saw the light of day for one reason or another. They all fall somewhere in between the little-known and the infamous and from the mundane to the spectacular. One of the more obscure and interesting examples of such a project is the short-lived idea to construct a southern beltway for the New Orleans metropolitan area in the 1960s and 70s. Greater New Orleans and its surrounding area grew rapidly in the years after World War II, as suburban sprawl encroached on the historically rural downriver parishes around the city. In response to the development of the region’s Westbank and the emergence of communities in St. Charles and St. John the Baptist Parishes as viable suburban communities during this period, regional planners began to consider concepts for new infrastructure projects to serve this growing population. The idea for a circular freeway around the southern perimeter of t

Hernando de Soto Bridge (Memphis, TN)

The newest of the bridges that span the lower Mississippi River at Memphis, the Hernando de Soto Bridge was completed in 1973 and carries Interstate 40 between downtown Memphis and West Memphis, AR. The bridge’s signature M-shaped superstructure makes it an instantly recognizable landmark in the city and one of the most visually unique bridges on the Mississippi River. As early as 1953, Memphis city planners recommended the construction of a second highway bridge across the Mississippi River to connect the city with West Memphis, AR. The Memphis & Arkansas Bridge had been completed only four years earlier a couple miles downriver from downtown, however it was expected that long-term growth in the metro area would warrant the construction of an additional bridge, the fourth crossing of the Mississippi River to be built at Memphis, in the not-too-distant future. Unlike the previous three Mississippi River bridges to be built the city, the location chosen for this bridge was about two

Memphis & Arkansas Bridge (Memphis, TN)

Like the expansion of the railroads the previous century, the modernization of the country’s highway infrastructure in the early and mid 20th Century required the construction of new landmark bridges along the lower Mississippi River (and nation-wide for that matter) that would facilitate the expected growth in overall traffic demand in ensuing decades. While this new movement had been anticipated to some extent in the Memphis area with the design of the Harahan Bridge, neither it nor its neighbor the older Frisco Bridge were capable of accommodating the sharp rise in the popularity and demand of the automobile as a mode of cross-river transportation during the Great Depression. As was the case 30 years prior, the solution in the 1940s was to construct a new bridge in the same general location as its predecessors, only this time the bridge would be the first built exclusively for vehicle traffic. This bridge, the Memphis & Arkansas Bridge, was completed in 1949 and was the third
