The Shelby Bypass, planned to be designated as U.S. Route 74 Bypass (US 74 Byp.), is a future 18.5-mile (29.8 km) four-lane freeway bypass of the city of Shelby along U.S. Route 74 (US 74) in Cleveland County in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It will begin at a trumpet interchange with US 74 west of Shelby, running along its northern city limits, before terminating at another trumpet interchange with US 74 on the southeast city limits of Shelby. The project will also include upgrading a stretch of US 74 from the eastern Shelby Bypass interchange to the diamond interchange with U.S. Route 74 Business (US 74 Bus.) just west of Kings Mountain. The bypass is currently under construction in six sections and is currently expected to be fully open to traffic in 2029.[1][2]
As of 2023, currently, the only segment of the bypass that is open to traffic is the 5.6-mile (9.0 km) segment between US 74 west of Shelby to North Carolina Highway 226 (NC 226; Polkville Road) on the northwestern edge of Shelby. This segment opened to traffic on April 13, 2020, but currently has no designation.[3] The next segment, from NC 226 to North Carolina Highway 150 (NC 150; Cherryville Road) on the northeastern edge of Shelby is currently under construction and expected to open in 2024. The last segment from west of Stony Point Road to US 74 Bus. in Kings Mountain began construction in 2023, with the entire bypass expected to be completed in 2029.[4][5][6]
