From NCDOT:
In December 2020, the N.C. Department of Transportation finished construction of a southern bypass of Asheboro to help reduce congestion and improve traffic flow and safety on U.S. 64 as well as enhance high-speed regional travel on the U.S. 64 Intrastate Corridor.
The U.S. 64 Asheboro Bypass includes a section - referred to as the Zoo Connector - that provides better access to the North Carolina Zoo, a major tourist attraction and economic engine for the region.
The project wa​s needed because:
- Existing congestion along U.S. 64 causes significant travel delays and increases the potential for crashes. Crash rates along U.S. 64 in the area are above the statewide average for similar roadways in North Carolina.
- Existing and projected traffic and land use conditions along existing U.S. 64 through Asheboro diminish the route's ability to function as an intrastate corridor.
- Congestion and backups occur on N.C. 159 (Zoo Parkway) because local traffic mixes with zoo traffic. Visitors experience delays, and residents have difficulty getting to and from their property.
- It is integral to NCDOT's plan to upgrade the U.S. 64 and N.C. 49 corridors from Statesville to Raleigh (U.S. 64) and from Charlotte to Raleigh (N.C. 49 and U.S. 64).

[@MileageMikeTravels]

No problem. Thanks for watching.

Nice ride along us highway 64 (Asheboro bypass)

[@rjmcallister1888]

US 64 is a little bit of everything between US 158 in Nags Head, NC and the Four Corners (US 160) in New Mexico; here it goes from penthouse to outhouse, freeway to two-laner, in less than a mile.

[@d234baum]

I literally just drove this, nice new road.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Agreed. Nothing like driving a new, freshly built highway.

@@MileageMikeTravels How many miles are on US-64 in North Carolina?

[@glenonoko4918]

just curious - why wasn't this built around the north side of Asheboro? Seems like that would have been less miles to construct, plus a more direct route for through traffic on U.S. 64.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

I think they wanted it to pass by the Zoo.

[@itsyourboytrippy6201]

Maybe you can do a trip on Florida Route 414

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Definitely. I plan to do lots of videos in the Orlando area.

@@MileageMikeTravels Mike since your a civil engineer do you help build any roads? Or do you do something else?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

@@w-josh I do design. Primarily in land development. So mostly I’m designing new neighborhoods, apartment complexes, shopping centers and things like that. There’s sometimes some road design involved in that but not really any highway type stuff.
