Merge proposal w/ Virginia State Route 785 edit

Virginia State Route 785 should be covered in this article because it is completely concurrent with US 29. Dough 48 72 16:47, 29 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

OK, if anyone is reading this eight years later, the merge target has been merged to Interstate_785. And here's what we have now:

the southeastern quadrant of the Danville Expressway between the North Carolina US 360, the route is designated as part of unsigned State Route 785 for 7.39 mi (11.89 km).[4] Created c. 2000, SR 785 is numbered in contradiction to the conventional system of numbering in the state, where primary routes are numbered less than 600 and secondary routes at or above this number. It is numbered as such because it is part of the planned Interstate 785, which will run south along US 29 to Interstate 85 in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is only one of two routes of this type. The other is Route 895 in Richmond for similar reasons.

There's work to be done, but it's no longer a merge.

it's not the "planned Interstate 785, eh?
should the redirect of the Virginia highway redirect here, instead of to the interstate?
