History:

I-295 was approved by AASHTO in May 2005 to be assigned to the Fayetteville Beltway. This had first been proposed by NCDOT as I-195 a couple years prior.
Per Interstate Guide.com, I-295 was opened from US 401 to River Rd in June 2003.
In July 2005, I-295 was opened from River Rd to I-95/US 13.
In Aug 2014 (per Bob Malme), a segment opened from Bragg Blvd to NC 210 but it is signed only as NC 24-87.
On 8/11/2016 (per Bob Malme), I-295 was opened from US 401 west to NC 210.
On 12/2/2016, I-295 was open from Bragg Blvd west to All American Freeway.

FUTURE I-295 shields were replaced by NC 295 shields in late 2014.
Actual I-295 shields were put in the field on segments opening west of All American Freeway and will now be placed on all parts of the open freeway to replace the NC 295 signage.
The segment between Exit 2 and Exit 4 opened November 2022 but was signed as NC 295.
This had been identified on the 2004 and 2005 Official maps as NC 13 and was officially designated NC 295 on paper by NCDOT in June 2011.
