History: NC 295 was created in June 2011 (NCDOT) and assigned to signed Future I-295 from US 401 to I-95.
In Aug 2014 (per Bob Malme), the segment between Bragg Blvd and NC 210 was opened, but was signed only as NC 24-87.
On 8/11/2016 (per Bob Malme), NC 295 was opened from US 401 west to NC 210.
On 12/2/2016, NC 295 was open from Bragg Blvd west to All American Freeway.
On 11/26/2019, NC 295 was opened from All American Freeway west to Cliffdale Rd.
On 8/19/2020 (per Sprjus4 on aaroads forum), NC 295 was opened from Cliffdale Rd to US 401 Raeford Rd.
NC 295 postings replaced the Future I-295 shields in late 2014.
Starting with the 2019 extension, new openings were with I-295 shields and NC 295 shields on older sections were replaced soon after.
On 11/21/22 (per Bob Malme), a separate segment opened from Exit 2 and Exit 4 along the Cumberland-Robeson line. It is signed as NC 295.

Comment: I think this was done to technically have this freeway as a primary highway since they couldn't yet assign it as I-295.
Information and pictures about the progress of I-295 can be found at Bob Malme's site.
