Have you recorded I-26 north of Mars Hill?

Not at this time, but I have thought about it.
Currently, there is a maintenance project on I-26 on the North Carolina side. It shows up on the most recent Google Map street view, so it is still ongoing and probably won't be finished until 2025.
The last time I visited I-26 was in the 1990s shortly after the Tennessee section opened. At that time it was signed as US 23 and was intended as a bypass for the original US 23, a winding two-lane road through the mountains. I actually had a chance to drive on the old US 23 going into North Carolina.
When the North Carolina section opened after 2000, the roadway became an extension of I-26.
I would like to visit the area sometime in the future, but it would probably be after 2025.
