U.S. Route 74 is an east-west United States highway that runs for 524 miles (843 km) from Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina to Chattanooga, Tennessee. See also The Great Smoky Mountains Expressway, the name of the highway as it traverses Southwestern North Carolina as a divided, partially restricted highway.
Part of this highway will include an extension of Interstate 74, which is expected to connect the Carolinas to the Midwest. When completed, this will be one of only two instances (along with proposed I-41 in Wisconsin) of similarly-numbered U.S. and Interstate routes being designated on the same road.
