The 1st I-40 Business was created in the mid-to-late 1980s, running everywhere on the Raleigh Beltline that I-40 did not. Somebody figured out this didn't make a lot of sense so this was renumbered as I-440 in July 1991 (NCDOT). No map of any sort has ever shown this and there have been no reports of it ever being posted in the field. The 2nd I-40 Business was created in Nov 1992 (NCDOT) when I-40 was given its freeway bypass of Winston-Salem. I-40 Business was 100% freeway. This is one of the older freeways in North Carolina, going back to the late 1950's. I-40 Business was dropped in 2020. The freeway remains US 421.

 1999 Official The 3rd I-40 Business was created in Feb 2008 (per interstate guide.com), as I-40 was placed on a bypass of Greensboro. The old route through Greensboro became I-40 Bus. In Sept 2008 (per interstate guide.com), I-40 was returned to its original Greensboro routing, eliminating I-40 Business. Although this was extremely short-lived, I-40 Bus was fully posted and even made it onto the 2008 Official Map. There are still some Green 40 shields up on Randleman Rd south at I-40 (see picture at top of page).
