 The TIP Project Number is R-2247 for the western segment and U-2579 for the under construction eastern segment.A "Southern Beltway" connecting the eastern and western segments in Forsyth County and northern Davidson County is in the initial planning stages, as its general proposed routing appears on some Winston-Salem Department of Transportation (WSDOT) long-range planning maps.As of January 2007, no preferred alternatives for this southern section have been officially submitted, and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) does not include the Southern Beltway on its vision maps.
