| Scenes Pertaining to Interstate 77 |
| U.S. 21 northbound merges onto Interstate 77 at Exit 79. The overlap coincides with the split of U.S. 21 into Business and Bypass components. The Bypass U.S. 21 freeway pre-exists the Interstate 77 designation through the Elkin (pop. 4,109) and Jonesville (pop. 1,464) communities. Thus when Interstate 77 came to pass, U.S. 21 Bypass became part of the alignment. Depicted here are junction shields for Interstate 77 and U.S. 21 Bypass posted on North Carolina 67 eastbound for the Exit 82 partial cloverleaf interchange. Photo taken 10/05/01. |
