History: In September 2016 (NCDOT), I-587 was officially requested by NCDOT to be assigned to the US 264 freeway from US 64 (and approved I-87) Zebulon to Greenville.
In October 2016, AASHTO denied this request.
In November 2016, NCDOT received approval from FHWA for I-587 and shortly after AASHTO also approved it.
On 11/21/2016, NCDOT officially assigned Future I-587 to US 264 from US 64 Zebulon to the west end of the Greenville Bypass.
On 6/22/22 (thanks to Tracy Snead), I-587 was posted on the US 264 freeway from I-95 east to the Greenville Bypass. I-95 west to US 64/Future I-87 Zebulon remains a future interstate.
Comments:
It turns out that NCDOT was also prepared to request only I-95 to Greenville as I-595 if for some reason I-87 had not been approved.
