North Carolina Highway 192
North Carolina Highway 192 is a proposed east–west primary state highway designation in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It will serve as the designation of an existing segment of freeway between Interstate 40 Winston-Salem and the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway near Union Cross, currently designated I-74 and formerly U.S. Route 311. NC 192 will be designated when the final section of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway opens sometime in 2026, at which point I-74 will be rerouted onto that road.
The highway is completed but not yet signed.
Route description
The proposed state highway will begin at the junction of I-40 in Winston-Salem and run east for along the four-lane freeway. After intersecting Ridgewood Road at a diamond interchange, the route will end in Union Cross at a future interchange with the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway.History
The freeway to become NC 192 was initially constructed in the 1980s as a realignment of US 311. It was designated I-74 in 2012, with signs being updated in 2014, despite the road's shoulders not being wide enough to meet Interstate Highway standards.US 311 was removed from the road in 2019 after approval from AASHTO the previous year, with I-74 becoming the freeway's sole designation. Upon completion of the eastern section of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway, I-74 will be rerouted onto that road. As a result, the NC 192 designation will be created on the current section of I-74 between I-40 and the new freeway.
