I-42

**NOTICE: I-42 is currently an incomplete interstate, and is not planned to be completed for years. You can keep up with the signing and progression of Interstate 42 HERE, and the history below 'The Route Path'.**

Interstate 42 is a mostly-future interstate that is planned to go from I-40/NC-540 west of Clayton to US 70 north of Beaufort and northeast of Morehead City. 

As of September 27, 2024, the interstate only has two segments completed; the western one from the planned west end at I-40/NC-540, to US 70 southeast of Clayton. The eastern segment uses the entirety of the Goldsboro Bypass, from US 70 west of Goldsboro, back to US 70 west of La Grange.

Also, this page is not completely detailed, as obviously the interstate isn't complete either. On 'The Route Path', the description of the future part of the interstate is in italics.
