The study corridor begins west of the US 74-76 interchange with US 701 in Whiteville and continues along existing US 74-76 to 1.25 miles west of Bolton. It proceeds southward on new location to the Columbus/Brunswick county line. The study corridor travels southward alongside existing NC 211 from the county line to US 17 in Supply. The I-74 corridor then turns southwest and travels along the US 17 corridor, utilizing the Shallotte Bypass, and finally terminating at the South Carolina state line. The total length of the project varies from 63.3 miles to 65.5 miles, depending on which alignments are selected.
