HIGHWAYS

North Carolina is known as “The Good Roads State.” Its Southeast is no exception. The inter-regional network of roads and highways in the region has ready access to North-South Interstate 95, East-West Interstate 40 and the developing East-West Interstate 73/74. The region’s strategic location relative to domestic and international markets provides an important competitive advantage.

For information regarding planned highway improvements, refer to the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that shows by county the current schedules of highway improvement programs for the eleven-county region. The TIP can be downloaded from the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s web page at:
