UPDATE: Here's a link to a map showing the future I-73. Thnx to alert reader TJ for sending it along, and also to Triadwatch for the navigation hints.

Speaking of big roads that will cut right through swell neighborhoods, anyone looked at a map of the highways planned for Summerfield, and their impact on some fancy new houses?

Do you have a link, or does NCDOT? I have heard the new I-73 is going right through Armfield and Henson Farm area.

I don't have a link, but there may be one. The map definitely exists. Million-dollar house with a view of the interstate, anyone?

When we moved to GSO 3 years ago, our realtor was up front. I-73 is running smack dab at the edge of Henson Farm (east?) on the N side of Hwy 150.....she said she thought folks would see this as a +, a quick way to get down to I-40 and lessen commute times....

here is how you can see what the proposed i-73 corridor will be proposed.

If you go to the guilford county web site , ed you might want to update the post with this information.

Then proceed to the gis viewer on the front page.

Then you will have to click OK

Then you will need to look in top right corner and there is a placed called layers, click on layers.

Then you can proceed to the transportation section click that on then you will see a place to click on i-73 corridor

Then you will need to refresh the information and you will then see the map on left with the proposed corridoe on the map.

Then if you want to click down to the part where you can see the aerial picture of houses and there is a button on top of map that says I that will give you information on each property owner in the whole county.

It was amazing to see everyone fall over the city of greensboro with their map when guilford county had it all the time.

Ed have fun with this post and have fun at map

Arguably, when someone builds a home or development away from high density population centers, one might reasonably expect a higher than normal probability that a major transportation artery might be built there at some point in the future.

[Ed Cone]

Depends on where one builds, I guess.

In this case, though, we're not talking about supposition, we're talking about a map with future roads on it, which predates the houses.

Seems as if I remember the N&R publishing pictures of the routes a few years ago.

[Reggie Greene / The Logistician]

Ah hah. Interesting. The existence of the map with future roads is arguably constructive, if not actual notice.

Even if someone was not aware of its existence, they theoretically should have asked themselves the question....
