Project Overview
Planning and development are underway to widen U.S. 64 from east of I-85 in Lexington to the Asheboro Bypass in Davidson and Randolph counties. Proposed work on the 19-mile corridor would tie in U.S. 64 to the existing I-85, N.C. 109 and the Asheboro Bypass interchanges. The proposed project would also replace the bridge over the Uwharrie River.

Project Funding
This project is listed as Project R-2220 in the 2024-2033 N.C. Department of Transportation's State Transportation Improvement Program, with one section, Lake Park Road to Asheboro Bypass (DA), funded for preliminary engineering* only. I-85 east of Lexington to N.C. 109 (B) and N.C. 109 to Lake Park Road (C) are currently unfunded. Further project development will be scheduled in the future, as funding allows.
*Preliminary engineering for NCDOT projects refers to the preconstruction phase covering initial planning, environmental studies, and design work before any right-of-way purchase or construction begins.
