This highway would be a tough sell since it would have numerous environmental impacts through mountains and wetlands. Interstate 3 is unlikely to ever get built. It would be wise for Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee to build this corridor as a state built four lane expressway to avoid a lot of the EIS crap they have to go through. However, the downside is that they cannot get federal funding to build it that way. Nonetheless, Nashville, Tennessee's I-840 beltway was completed much sooner by just calling it Tennessee Highway 840 instead of I-840 BUT build it to Interstate standards. State funded roads can evade many environmental studies unlike federally funded roads.

I think NCDOT has more pressing matters on its plate than another interstate that basically would benefit GA more than NC. I would hope it doesnt get serious attention until these outerbelts get sorted out and some kind of direction on where the money should be spent.
