New interstate planned for middle of the state could bring key economic, safety benefits

Future I-685 project

The proposed I-685 could bring benefits for drivers and developers in Lee and Harnett counties.

CRITERIA SET BY THE STATE BOARD. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THE BILL AT HIGH SCHOOLOT.COM. &gt;&gt;&gt; NORTH CAROLINA COULD GET A NEW INTERSTATE KNOWN AS 685, JUST WEST OF WINSTON-SALEM. &gt;&gt;&gt; WE ARE JUST OFF 421 AND THIS COULD BECOME I-685. THERE ARE STILL A FEW CRUCIAL THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE THIS TRULY BECOMES AND INTERSTATE. &gt;&gt; WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR A HIGHWAY TO BECOME AN INTERSTATE IN. &gt;&gt; THE HIGH DESIGN STANDARDS. IT'S ACTUALLY A NOTCH ABOVE MOST FREEWAYS, WIDER SHOULDERS, AND THE BRIDGES AND OTHER THINGS HAVE BETTER CLEARANCES AND SO FORTH. THEY ARE SAFER. AS THE STATE CONTINUES TO GROW, WE JUST CAN'T CONTINUE TO WIDEN I-40 TO SERVE ALL THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY THE FREIGHT TRAFFIC. IT WOULD BE A HUGE ADVANTAGE FROM A MILITARY READINESS PERSPECTIVE AND CONTINUITY OF SERVICES AND SO FORTH. &gt;&gt; Reporter: I SPOKE WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS IN THE AREA WHO TELL ME THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OFTENTIMES BUSINESSES WILL NOT DEVELOP IN A SPECIFIC AREA UNLESS IT'S CLOSE TO AN INTERSTATED, SO THIS COULD DRIVE FURTHER GROWTH
